I'll post some new pics up shortly, here's the latest stuff...
Pulled motor
Working on pulling engine wiring harness
removed K member and A-arms
Installed UPR K member and A-Arms
A-arms need to be widened 2" ordered materials should be here tomorrow
Pulled the front&rear bumper cover, bumper and foam
Removed insulation and foam from floor pan
Cut out the driver side floor pan for subframe connectors
BS3 will be here tomorrow
Final pieces of roll cage will be here today
Ordered steel for engine and trans mount
Headlights arrived
Wheels need to be moved:
The A-arms need to be widened by about 1.900-2.000", ordered some rectangle tubing and the plan is to use the 1 x 2" 1.710" wide rectangle tube, box the ends and cut/weld on the outside of the a-arms where they come to meet at the ball joint.
Should have the Moser 9" rear friday for mockup and anti-roll bar install. Motor components should be here anyday to go to the machine shop for the block work, heads are in the works @ ET Performance.

Had to do some minor body work to remove some small rust spots(pin sized). 
Today I got the front A-Arms made, Big Stuff 3 and the Steering rack arrived. Front wheels almost need to come out another 1/4" or so. The car will be sent to the paint shop before final assembly, not sure on color, leaning towards black.

Got a half day of work yesterday:
Welded all the chassis seams on the rear end suspension
- fully welded upper control mounts to frame
- fully welded lower control arm mounts
- Welded in Torque Box Plate
Assembled and installed Moser 9" rear
Installed:
Wolfe Racecraft Adjustable Upper and Lower control arms
Mocked up sway bar and marked for welding
Strange Adjustable Front Struts and UPR coil over kit
I need to remove the rear end this weekend and clearance the upper mount, the upper control arm is hitting the mount when the suspension is at its highest point. The upper bushings on the rear end need to be removed and the rear end needs to be cut for the new Billet mount. Pics on the way.
On the parts side:
Moser 9" 3.50 gears and 5/8" studs
Iron 6.0 Block
Lunati Pro Mod Rods
Callies 4" Crank
ARP Head and Main Studs
Aerospace ProStreet Front and Rear brakes

Got alittle more work done today. Finally started getting some of the turbo parts, Jose over @ Forcedinductions.com sent some Tial wastegates. Got the rear brakes mounted and most of the cage tac'd into place. Still need to get a tubing notcher to make the rear X bars and the motor mounts. Here's some update shots.
