I built some aluminum mufflers for the car to give a little more ground clearance. Also built the aluminum fuel tank.

I really happy how it is turning out. It is a blast to drive. A little dyno video. It through the u-joint caps off the rearend at 5700rpm. I have that problem fixed now just haven't put it back on again.

Yeah that is what it reads. Not sure what is going on with that. Seems kinda high but we are going to make some more pulls later to confirm it. I knocked the caps off the back u-joint and we only recorded 1 pull at that boost. My buddy that owns the dyno has been covered up since I got it all back together.
