Ok, so no pics but here's an update. Pretty much got to the end of my list @ JCG. Cris has alot of projects in the shop and SEMA will be here before we can blink so it was time to move the car outta there.

Seems like I do everything 3x and I'm still stuck in this mode but hopefully not for long. Also having painted or powdercoated parts drives some compromise. There was still some fab to be done and Mr. Fab53 offered to step in so off to his shop the car went. Brett squared the car every which way possible and rewelded the sub. Should be undercoat touched up by end of week. Brett is also fab'ing my subframe downbars to connect to my sub and double as a swaybar mount. This will save the p-coat. Brett's also adding a removable 5th diagonal link to my rollbar for added saftey.

In other news, with the car at ride height the rear wheels rubbed. I think this was caused more by my rear end width than the wheels ordered wrong (5.5" BS). I want it to sit right, so I took my rear over to Speedway for some mods. Also, had an offer to buy my wheels so I sold them and spoke to Frank. He gave me a smokin deal on some GW3s which get me to 19 in the rear. Unfortunately there is no good 100 TW option in 335/19 so I went w NT05s for now (da*n!); only other option is 30TW and I may go there after the Nittos get ground down. Wheels and tires should be in by end of next week and rear will be at the p-coater by then also.

We also need to do some rear shock relo to eliminate bind (not sure how that happened?) and trunk relief mods for exhaust clearance. This should be done by next week as well.

Once all this is done we start to put the car back together. The only thing left to do before wiring really is finish the oiling routing and motor breathing, do the final connection for fuel, brakes and clutch. Hoping to get all this done in the next 30 days.

Here's a fun milestone. I actually 'sat' in my car for the first time ever:


Pics and details soon guys...

Has 30 days passed yet?

At least post some more progress pics I know you're working on it.

Sorry Mr. Personality , no pics. I've been out on the road and not seen the car in a few days. I know Brett's got some...

Ricky D! Here's an update for you...We got the drivetrain together, finally, and in the car. One of those milestone moments where we're not planning on taking it back out again. Harness is getting recovered and coolers/oiling getting micked up. Should have some serious progress and pics this week
