Default progress (pic's)

it's real dirty, cleaning really isn't my thing but i will spray it off once it is running.

something missing in this first pic. hot parts should be back to me soon with a monster 60mm waste gate.


steping up to twin meth nozles.


some pic's of the loops, i got these awhile ago but had to modify the rear ones because they were rubbing. should be ok now i hope.





the tranny blanket, not a lot of room on the drive shaft side so i had to run the straps under the shifter linkage. not ideal but it was the best i could figure out. my drive shaft is about 1/4" from the shifter so now way to go around it.




roll pan and toolbarn magnet


and last, the nittos, rims are suppose to ship this friday


i hope to be running this weekend, maybe even hit the dyno on saturday. roll bar sometime in the next 3 weeks. i had the converter turned up about 500rpm too so it should launch hard.

Nice to see you getting closer to having it back on the road. What rims did you decide to go with?
