Let there be light!
This gets us up to date. There little odds and ends to finish up. Now waiting on an LSX Block to build the motor to fab up the rest of the wiring and order up a gear drive to mount the blower.
As always let me know what you guys think!

Thanks for those cowl pics, that came out super clean, especially the drivers side where it used to flare way out. Good to hear your doing a gear driven SC, me too. I have it all now but decided on a BBC and ditched the LSX 427 so I ordered a KB block. What are your plans on motor size and procharger size?

Right now the plan is going with a 360c.i. LSX motor with a F2 Procharger. I've changed my mind about a million times while building the car. It started as another nitrous LS build, then a nitrous BBC, and finally decided on the Procharger build. I'm kind of a loose cannon with ideas for it so if a block doesn't show up quick, there could be a small-block or big-block going in it just as easy. I hate waiting! haha... 
If something comes along that I think will be better to to win the local 10.5" class here, there's a good chance I'll change the setup again!

I'd think about a 400+ CI maybe with the F2 if allowed, it would be a bad ****...

This is awsome. Very motivating. I have a 94 roller that I've been wondering where to go with it, but this gives me some great direction. I hope my work is a tenth as good. The fire wall is fantastic. Did you have to pull the windshield to do the work?

Looks killer so far bro. Make me want to dump a bunch of $$$$ into the 99TA a grabbed for $2k a week and half ago. I just dont have the time between customer builds to mess with my own stuff anymore.

Thanks for the kind words guys. It's taken forever to get here. It hasn't been coming together nearly as fast as the pics make it seem. The car originally had it's little hiccup back in May '05. I've been playing with it for the past couple years and finally got motivated here over the past 6-9 months or so. With the car at my Dad's shop 2 hours away, I'm lucky if I get to spend a full weekend a month working on it.
Woody73z: The plan is for some 5.0x's assuming that's what it will take to outrun SD next year. We'll see how it goes.
