more fab work getting done.

moved my chute release handle



building the new steering shaft.



bracing the firewall a bit.



adding some gussets to the front frame work.



starting on the firewall.









getting it put back together, firewall is still in the stock location just extended straight up to the windshield to eliminate the cowl and clearanced in the middle for the intake to be turned backwards. motor is in factory location.











made a new catch can with some extra 5" pipe we had.



finished firewall turned out awesome.

This is freakin badass! I was impressed by the car last year and how it kept getting quicker and the step up to real street. I knew you were going turbo but this?!! I was just thinking in my pee brain head big single big cubes staying T56 and some more real street. Its going to be awesome watching this car get **** done on an 8.5 tire! Especially jammin gears! Will you be in Bowling Green in September?
