Any update is an update! I really wanna see this thing done. I've been following it for awhile. I think it's the coolest build on here.

Noone will see you coming, unless they hear you coming. Have a quiet exhaust or a muscle car nearby. Very unique and kudos on your skills.

rear brake lines finished


gas pedal mounted in its new location since the tunnel is so much larger than factor it would not fit where it was.


trans cooler mounted. will be installing a fan off a gsxr on it later








put new non locking hood pins on it cause i was tired of messing with the others and didnt trust them to hold the hood at high speeds


was finally able to finish and paint the new core support since the hood pins are done


trans is almost done. i have completely assembled except for valve body. i am missing my old valve body and it had my governor lines and valves in it so im stuck at the moment. i have to go to a salvage yard and get another, must have lost it in the move

lol "because they looked like they would work." I've done that before and it worked, it's very satisfying when you do guess work and it works out. VERY awesome build keep up the good work man.

This is an awesome build. Great job. I love how you kept the center console too. I'm looking forward to some videos of its maiden voyage and some burn outs.
