Good to see things still moving forward. Progress is progress, thats what I keep telling myself. We'll get there sooner or later. It would just be great if it was this year, right!

Keep the updates coming. Can't wait to see the wheels.

You have issues on whole different level bro...

Progress eludes us all once in awhile....helps if it isn't self imposed though

Wow I can't even imagine how far off till I say that.

Congratulations the car is amazing. What is Speedway doing to your rear housing? Did you choose a wheel yet? I never saw your final intake choice in the thread. Maybe I missed it.

Thx for your help on this Rich. Looks like factory PCV and a Norris can. Mike seems to think this'll work up to 7k. I'll let you know how dirty the intake gets...

Nuttin better Lennie. It's the 'Todd Akes Self Improvement Course' in action... I see us meeting up in the Bay Area in the near future Bro...

Hey Rick! The plan was to store it in Indy one summer and do a few events. Getting the car done is eating into that, but I'm sure we'll meet up soon. Are you going to Colombus?

Thx Rob. We were sooo close to running into each other. Speedway is right sizing my rear, axles, bearings, etc. I did the Floater 101 tour the first time I went down there. So cool that they take the time to meet w us, educate us and fix whatever we ask.

On the wheels I stayed close to home. Same satin black center/polished lip:
