Monday:
- My dad dropped off the fenders so I could finish welding the extension pieces that replace the plastic piece
- Kurt got my BS3 back with the racepak conversion
- Pushrods came in but were ordered incorrectly, my buddy Chris is handling the situtation. We've got some 3/8" .145 wall ball/cup deals on the way
- Finished lightening work on both doors
- Started working on the oiling feed modication for the turbo, basically had the factory LS6(05+) pan milled and I am adding aluminum to bring it back to the shape that we need to clear the custom wheel to wheel accusump fitting.
- Started the design process to switch over to a dry sump, we're having a pan custom made by Stef's.

Nice ride. Everything seems to be of top quality.

Just curious as to how much the Racepak cost you.

We've been making slow progress..

Stan called Today from Stef's Fabrication and we worked out the details on my custom divider oil pan. They will start building the pan tomorrow and get the hard parts shipped out so I can start mockup for the pump mount and the mounts for the tank.

We got the car sanded, all the body work done to shoot our first coat of primer tomorrow. I want to have the car in the paint booth for color this weekend but I don't think its in the cards. We've scheduled time at the paint booth Feb 9th & 10th. Hopefully by then the oil pan will be here, all the final mockup will be done and we can get the car assembled. Tenative goals is by the end of Feb to have the car done and driving.

When do you think you'll have the car back at the house? I need to stop by.

IMO the black wasn't bad, I think it was $300 for everything.
