Hey Dennis, fuel cell and the new pump mount look great!! It's nice to have some time to catch up on some things......so what is next??
I have finished up the t- top well and am going to add in some new cross bars in the cage in the hatch area. Im mounting the plates on the rails as I have time. In your tail section, why did you brace the rails horizontally?? Is that because of were your choot mounts?? I was thinking of adding one but I still cant really see the purpose with my set up! Have you got any thoughts on this??
Keep up the good work man, catch ya.

Hey guys!! sorry been working like a crazy man. Havent really touched the car. But have made some money to buy parts!!! I have decided on the power plant! Going to build a 400 inch with a pro charger... Its going to take longer to get it going but I want to try one.. I started to build a 632 NOS motor because thats what i've ran for years.. This motor deal has been a real problem for me to figure out. Later

Hey man, work is good....... you have got to take it while it is there!! I like the new motor combo, you cant beat a procharger! The wagon ran a centrivical vortec V2supercharger on my last motor combo. It was alot of fun!!
You should get some good money back for the 632, my plan is a 503 with a 400 progressive shot of nos. I like the prostock theme for this car. Glad to here from you, catch ya.

A few updates on my junker. Got the motor and trans mocked up in the car... fits pretty good!! I also weighed it today with everything in it no driver #2564!! With driver #2777. Thats with no water in the motor. Was 54% front and 46 on the rear. Not bad for a BBC!!! Later

Hey Dennis, I thought that you were making spacers! This is kind of were im at. But I have been hesitant to finish my firewall as it will reset the line to the diff. I want to bring the motor down as low as possible in the tunnel this round without upsetting things!
The wagon has been very slow. The problem here is that it is a first, and so it is hard to get the job done right, Efi is not really me specialty.
The dash wiring is about to be redone again next week, made a few slight dash mods and fingers crossed. I would like to present it at the local extreme horsepower show this year, so I got to get it done!!
Good to catch up man, been not alot happening on here. Keep the good work coming, catch ya.

Hey man, I hope that you are keeping well? I havent heard from you for a while, so I was guessing you were busy! I was actually going to PM you today, just to check in!!
Thanks man, my rear trans tunnel should look very familiar to you, as I modeled it off yours!! It should do the trick.
I dont have any pics of ithe travel limiters mounted back up, as im trying to finish up the front. But this is what I made, just a couple of ears to weld to the body and a tab to bolt to the coilover to lower A arm bolt. Then ill shorten the chain, depending on my overall ride height which is still undecided.
To be honest, I think that you could just do it with the chain and bolts to the tabs, unless your planning on moving the ride height around alot!
Hope these help, let me know if you want any better or different pics.
Anyway catch ya.
