got the trans tunnel finished and welded up completely. got access holes in it so i can get to bell housing bolts and dont have to pull engine and tranny as one. just need to drill a hole for the shift linkage.

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.

Good **** OP, I love it.
And when the haters ask why, you have a simple answer. "because I can".
