I really like the way those look on there. You are almost there!

Another small update!

Okay I’ve got a Wilwood question. I would like to know the best way to hookup my rear brakes. What I’ve got is a 1/4” line coming from back and I’m trying to hook it into the Wilwood proportioning valve that’s a 3/16” line. Any input would be helpful.

I would use a 1/4" female SAE flare to 3/16" NPT male bushing. The input to the valve is NPT right? I forget. If the input to the valve is an SAE flare then look for a 1/4" SAE (female) to 3/16" SAE (male) flare fitting. The 1/4" line is pretty large so it may take some looking. For some reason I remember the valve being a NPT female, and not 3/16". But Im not sure, its been awhile.. JR

Looking good Craig!

So this is the piece of safety wire I pulled out of my finger today. If you look close you can see some red stuff. It felt kind of wired being wired to my car and not being able to get away. I’m glad I didn’t freak out. ..WAIT I DID! LOL

So once I got that piece of wire out of my hand I managed to finish up safety wiring my headers and bolting on some other engine components.

Nice update it looks great.

Well another small update. Moving along slowly but hey with having to run kids everywhere it’s not too bad.

Speed Tech control arms in place.




Exhaust all painted I just need to modify rear hangers so they fit.


I got the support bars on but won't work with DSE hood hinges. I think what i might do is remove shocks off hinges and just run hoodpins but we'll see.


and a teaser shot of the car on stands.



The plan is to finish mounting radiator and finish the pluming this week and firing this thing up next week….I hope! I’ll have post video of the initial start up but won’t bore you to death with cam break in..lol

Very nice Craig.
Is it getting close to finish?
