Wow, I am very impressed! You have some crazy skills for fabbing all of that from scratch. I helped build an FSAE car, and that was nuts at 1/3 the size of this.

I laughed at "Trunk-a-pult"

For the cooling system I personally would just make hard lines out of like 1.25 or 1.5 aluminum or stainless then just have couplers. Those stainless hoses you have will trap bubbles in the corrugated parts. They can take forever to bleed.

Wow man, I feel guilty for having ever complained about fitting truck arms under a 2nd gen Camaro

Absolutely awesome work, very impressive. Can't wait to see the body go on.

While I'm waiting for parts to show for the remote oil filter I've been tying up some small items. I made the adapters for the crank case filter breather .

While the lathe was a mess I went ahead and made the hanger for the diff vent filter breather. Now I hope I don't catch a bunch of crap for moving it to the wheel well.

Well I suppose I'll have to spend some more money to get more things to work on.

Not much to do while I wait for some parts to show. Did manage to get plugs, wires, and the coils squared away. Now I've always hated the way ford stuck the coils out in front of the engine and the ran all those wires around and over the alt. leaving a huge mess. I was just going to mount them over the alt., but that didn't clear the hood so I had to move them back a ways. I think it looks okay. I left enough room to get the intake plumbed out towards the passenger side.

Found the belt I needed for the timing cover setup I went with, no PS. no AC., no extra pulleys.

Spent some quality time at the junkyard selecting parts to aid in the removable seats that I wish to have, need to have if I need to get at the trans in this car. The drive shaft will be here tomorrow and I will start to fill stuff with fluids. Every day we get a little closer.

Looking great! I like the way you routed the plug wires.

I like the way you mounted the coils and wires. I have a 98 Cobra engine and was trying to figure out a way to hide them. I hate how obvious they are sticking out in the front of the engine, I don't want to go COP either. Is extending/lengthing the plug wires possible?
