Knocked out a couple of things this morning:

- Mocked up upper IC pipe still needs to be bead rolled and welded
- Cut floor for thru floor rear cross-member & installed rear cross member
- started mocking up cage for custom window net
- Removed stud and mocked up brake pedal for manual conversion
- Installed auto brake and gas pedal & welded on tab for carb throttle cable
- welded passenger side collector - passenger side header is 90% done now
- welded rear brace on Moser 9"
- welded rear sway bar tabs on rear end
- filled in holes on rear wing with fiberglass and started body work on rear facia, driver door to remove 3 small dings
- Intake manifold is done except for some spacers between the mounts and the fuel rail tabs, I had a local shop drill the injector bungs and we tapped the mounts
- cut plate for blockoff to close hole for manual shifter in center console
- made tab for throttle cable to firewall
- Mounts for radiator are ready to be mocked up

Motor is done @ the machine shop, I need to pick it up and take it to have the o-ring installed

I'll have more pics tomorrow, right now we're trying to figure out if we should add some bars on the nose of the car to stop the chassis flex infront of the firewall.

I've got alot more pic's coming. I did ALOT of work today and made alot of progress. Motor is done @ the machine shop and just needs to be taken to Jackson to get the CNC o-ring installed.

Sway bar was orginally installed but the bar was too low and we couldn't get the tires tucked up under the car enough so I cut it out and started fresh. I raised the bar about 2" and made some custom plates. The suspension will basically bottom out on the frame rails now. I may need to move the front upper control arm points up slightly.

They're some nice welds there! I've been following this thread for a while now. Class A buildup. I can't wait to hear the thing fire up!

Keep 'em coming

Once a week, I made a 40-50 thing to do list and I just go down the list. I am so much more productive going down the list. I usually get 10-12 things done a day where before I would only get 3-4.
