Noting has really happened in the last two weeks. I went to Barrett-Jackson Auction. So i lost a week there and I also realized you can be bald, fat and as ugly a possom and still have at least one beatiful women at your side if you have money and a Cowboy hat.

Right now we've been collecting the new parts for the upcoming firewall modification. So far i have the brakes and we are still waiting to order the new steering column.

I looking forward to this as i will be able to make in cab adjustments of the brakes.

here's a close up of the pedal

more to come next week.

Okay it's been a long time since i've done an update. Dave cut up the P-Side of the Firewall so we could see if it was possible to make it perfectly flat. Well in the end it looks like we are going to cut it off and completly and start over. I'll keep ya posted as i plan to run out to the shop on Wednesday to take a quick look.

More to come next week

I've given up sleep. Which is a good thing it's amazing how much you can get done in a day when you only sleep 4 hours

Okay so i left work early today to beat the traffic and Head to the Chassis shop to work on the Firewall. Dave removed the entire firewall and had it almost perfectly flat and moved back an 1". It was my turn to build a mock up firewall. Dave had his doubts on my idea but i think he loved it when he saw it mocked up.

I havn't been by this board in a while. This thing is coming along quite nicely. I like that inner fender design, simple, yet complex. lol. It looks custom with the cut outs for the turbo, very unique! Keep up the awesome work

Looks like your are coming along well. Keep us posted more often. It is fun to watch you go through (and pick up ideas) the different steps. Can't wait to see the day it rolls under its own power.

Looks good! But I can’t believe you put so much work in making the firewall flat. I prefer when it isn’t completely flat.. But that’s me. Keep it up!

Christmas in February is alway's a good thing.

I've had the Big Stuff 3 for some time now but i pulled it out to look at it finally.
I had to take pics for John so i thought that i would share them for you.
