it's gettin' close!
Dude seriously stop teasing us...this car is going to be SO sick. Good luck with the bike deal, as much as I'd like to say don't get the welder I know how difficult it must be in these times to get rid of something for cash. Good luck though. Looking forward to seeing it running.

Thanks fellas, i've decided i'll wait until my hood gets here and take my brake calipers with it to get painted, powdercoating doesn't seem like it's going to be the way to go on the calipers. I'll go ahead and do a few little odds and ends in the engine bay this week and try to take some good pictures with a real camera.
I'm going to try to get the welding done on my torque arm brace this weekend and get it coated and installed. My buddy with the TT TA sold his wheels for some new Centerlines and they didn't show up when they were supposed to, so his car is sitting on my iForgeds until his wheels show up, so my car will remain on jackstands for a bit longer.
I'm pretty much done though for now. I can't really make any more progress until my motorcycle sells

fuel tank went in last night, i'm in the process of running the lines now. I started cutting & flaring brake lines for my linelock and ABS delete as well as re-install the stock brake lines. Hopefully i'll be posting some new pics in a day or two and also have the last few parts ordered. My new hood should show up any day now as well.
