Happy to see this one close. Crazy numbers, have you taken it around the block yet?
No rides yet. I'm going to pick it up and bring it home in the morn. A nice little 1300+ mile round trip. It's not that bad knowing I'm bringing it home running though.
Steve Morris and all his staff are super friendly, very customer oriented and he would even call me over to show me different things around the shop or just to chat as I hung out there for a couple days. I was trying to stay out of the way and it was nice to see some of the other projects. I was there as they were getting project sickseconds getting ready for drag week. 2 worked on it as 2 guys worked on my car. They worked on my car again Saturday even though they aren't normally open. My wife and I headed to Traverse City Friday night. Steve gave me his cell # and after calling him Saturday he sent me a couple pics of what they were working on. By early afternoon he headed out for drag week. I came back 2 weeks later to pick up the car after the dyno run.
I made all my power steering lines this weekend and some other little tidbits. I just like starting it to check things and not having to get a neighbour help push it back in the garage. Some things are just loosely run for testing and I will tidy it up over winter. Everything also needs a good dusting.
And my new CSU carb. Is carburetor a dirty word nowadays?
That RS second gen better step up big time at SEMA because the way I see it, this car deserves the un****withable title. Congrats on the steps forward.

I would be very disappointed if it couldn't hit 200 in the mile. I would think there would have to be something wrong... The half mile run in august should give me a good idea of what to expect.
If I head to Maine I will post it here.
I can host you if you come. I'll be running my truck. It's only 100hp
Congrats man, I love everything about this car. I have followed the build, but can't for the life of me remember what transmission you put in it. I assume TH400? I don't think I saw 4L80???
