I'm going to try and corner wieght it Monday before it goes to the shop. It needs a full four wheel alignment before hitting the dyno. I want it at ride height when they align it. I'm guessing about 3000-3100? It's gutted, and the whole drivetrain is Aluminum except the driveshaft. The wishful thinking benchtop dyno says 415 HP. We'll see...
I'm having a weekend long racecar build party through monday if anyone wants to fly in and lend a hand! I'll even put you up in an oceanfront hotel room! LOL
Maybe we should start a thread for garage built cars built alone! I'm going to get a banner to hang in my garage that says "Tony Stark built one in a cave!" seems to be my motto.

Man it was nice to finally have some help! Several of my local F-body friends came over today to help with the assembley. Without them, there is no way I would have gotten this much work done!
Pulled all the extra body parts out of my shed and discovered a family of squirels have been living inside my doors!

parts layed out and ready

hanging the door

Inner fender on!

Mostly done

looks like a car again!

After some pulling and tweaking, and the customery cussing, It all came together rather nicely.
