Default Winter project almost ready begin

Well this winter has been fairly expensive and needless to say cabin fever has settled in and im ready to begin working on the car. Ive done a lot of things and obtained a lot of parts so far. Last year I broke the 10 bolt and am using a borrowed 10 bolt a buddy had laying around. Decided I dont want that to break ever again and wanted to focus on my 60' times. So I called up MWC and ordered a 9" from them. Had it narrowed 3" per side, full spool, 3.90s and spec'd for 900+whp for future goals. I also ordered there anti roll, lca's, phb and the rear comes with there torque arm.

Beings i had the rear narrowed my prostars no longer worked for the rear, so I ordered a set of weld RTS and now have a 28" et street radial, where last year i had a 26". Then I decided I wanted new front runners and ordered a set of 17" weld alumastar 2.0s anodized black. Also got to looking around as i didnt want a $600 wheel to have a cheap steel shank that rusts, so I got a set of champion cnc billet aluminum lugs which ill show a pic of later. I also got a 2 step and hptuners from a friend, got a 5pt harness to install and put in a sparco seat. I had some airbrush work done to my bottle and changed my hood a little bit. I know some of you will either like or hate it, either way is fine with me. The rear is done with powder and the housing and suspension will ship in the next two weeks and ill begin install. The alumastars had a 3 week wait to ship from summit so I dont have them yet, but heres a few pics of the car and once everything gets here ill take a few more of tear down and after everything is installed.

Like the wheel combo and that's the coolest bottle I've seen. Badass tow rig but that airbrushing kills it for me. Just my two cents that don't matter just giving back feed back.

Front of the car looks like it was in a fire from a distance...
