Sorry fellas, I got nothing. It'll be a week before I'm back from Philadelphia and can mess with the car. The next pic I post of it should be with the hood and bumper all painted and installed

I'm looking into relocating my coils too. I see you made you're own brackets. where did you get the plug wires from and what's the part #?. those coils are still going to be visable when everything is assembled right? I'm looking for a spot to put mine where the wires to over lap into the covers and the coils arent visable.how long are the wires and where did u get them from? nice job on the built.

Epic build dude. I just spent most of my afternoon reading through your thread. Looking forward to seeing this beast finally done. I did this whole process with my previous car, '88 IROC, so I feel you on the time crunches, broken/don't fit parts etc.

Lots going on here...The car is getting painted after the weekend. Hopefully I will order tires this week as well.There's a good chance I'll have the SS done in time for the Street Machine Nationals in Little Rock in a few weeks

It won't be fully tuned but it will be done otherwise. I'm about to buy a new welder and laptop to try my hand at starting my own business so I've got quite a bit on my plate right now.

I need to post pics of my 6LE gauge overlay, but I don't have my needles yet so I'll keep you all waiting...

thanks man, sorry about your mouse.

the WS6 is also a work in progress, but a LOT further behind my car. the block is ready for assembly but we don't have all the parts yet and the owner is as broke as i am, if not more so. the chassis is done, or nearly done. the interior is still gutted but we have the cage welded in. the parachute mount is on. the madman TA is installed. drag brakes are on it. wheels/tires are on. its ready for the motor/wiring now but there's a LONG way to go. i may start a new thread once his build gets some traction. it's going to race in the 1/8th mile, 10" tire MAKO true street class.
