not much to report, cleaned the garage most of the weekend. here is a little update...
Skinnies courtesy of a lincoln towncar and continental. 1 each aluminum donut spare... need new track tires...
sumped and checked for leaks and fuel lines hooked up.
2 piece billet spherical bushigs installed along with the rear end... had to use a ratchet strap to get the paassenger side upper contorl arm on and it was a PITA!
everything is buttoned up and awaiting me to get it running and tuned...
pretty nice ride height, managed to find a used set of lowering springs for the back at my dads shop...
mom and i had an intervention with my dad and started cleaning this mess he calls a garage, i cant find a damn thing when i need it so this definitely was in order...

so after a long time of screwing around with HP Tuners, i gave up. im going tried and true with a carb and dumping fuel injection since it is a lot easier for me to understand and tune. it runs finally and i have a little buttoning up to do with some wiring. brakes and a roll cage and itll be ready for the track. vids below
