thanx wish i had the time and money to finish it. think i got most of the bog parts just need little things still. waiting for my arp pressure plate bolts to put the clutch on and then the trans onto the motor. i still gotta pull the interior and do a bunch of stuff i plan on doin in there. the guy that bought the 91z also bought me HPtuners so im goin to start learnin that stuff soon.

im goin to see how it looks on the motor and luckily if i do want to powder coat it theres a guy a block away from me that can do it.
thanx i still gotta do the other side. even with most of the stuff machined down it still takes forever with the grinder to get them down smooth.

Great project and when u sold it it looked great w those wheels! It will b a real surprise to folks when u pop the hood and it's a single plane/turbo combo. Keep it up and good luck w jobs.
