A couple. I rerouted the transmission lines and got the a2w pump installed in the tank. I am waiting on blades for the airsaw I bought (did not come with a single blade) so I can move the intercooler forward slightly. I also attempted to get the brakes bled, but the rears would only trickle out. Further research revealed I need to delete the stock proportioning valve and install an adjustbls one. Got those parts on the way.
The heater blower box is refusing to go back in. That is really about the only thing holding up the dash at this point. Pretty frustrating. I wrestled with it for nearly am hour, but with the front down bar there it is not wanting to go back.....but it came out AFTER the cage was installed so I guess I am just not doing something right.

Only if you want to come hold the umbrella while I fight with the blower motor again, lmao! We are getting torrential downpours today. Some places have seen 10 inches of rain already today! Sadly while my carport is enclosed on 2 sides by the house and the storage room, it is also open to two side and the car is exposed to both of them!

As fast as I can go 
No in all honesty I am hoping for low 9's but expect that it should be able to get in the mid to high 8s without too much trouble. It really depends on how much weight I add back in it with the stereo and the possibility of AC in the future. I might just keep it fairly simple and more of a drag car less of a street car and keep it light! Heck initially I will be happy just to have it hook and go 10s!!!
The other way was getting uncomfortably close to the wheels when it turned. I was afraid if I went over a bump while turning I might rip out my intercooler, lol. I just had to hack up the sheet metal a little more to fit it the way it is now and of course rework the piping. Now I am stuck with a bunch of 3.5" silicone bends I no longer need, lol.

Thanks man. Heat exchanger mounted as well. Now if I can manage to get the stinking heater blower motor box back in the car I can put the dash back in and take this thing for a ride! Hard to tell in this picture, but the exchanger sticks out and fills in a lot of the lower bumper cover lower inlet area. Should get a good amount of flow and be far enough away from the radiator not to absorb a ton of heat.

Well after unbolting about half the interior (what was left) of the car, I managed with the help of my friend Kris to get the dang heater box back in. Steering column is bolted back up and I have started working on finishing the wiring under the dash before it is all bolted back in place.
As a question, anyone have any tips for mounting up the PSI conversion brake switch?
