Default North vs. South progress thread... 1 week left!!!!!!!!!

I got the interior back together, these two 4" pipes kinda make things tight.. I had to ditch the center console, so I also had to re-wire the trans brake, 2 step, line lock and gauges....

The cometic gaskets got here today, so I can put the heads on it and hopefully stab the motor Friday after work. (If my distributor arrives, had to get a new one because I'm switching to sequential FAST from bank/bank.)

Need to do:
Install motor/tranny
Install fenders/hood/bumper cover
Install parachute and associated crap
Make license passes.

Curious what seats those are Brady, look like Corbeau A4's or TRS. They look like they fit pretty nice, are you using the Corbeau seat brackets also?

You are farther along than I am. I finally got my heads out of jail. Now all I lack is the camshaft.

We have been so busy getting cars ready for the Power Tour and finishing 2 Outlaw 10.5 cars my car is on the back burner right now.

Yeah, I had to blow off the Power Tour, that $500 Outlaw entry made sure my priorities were right..

The seats are D.A.D - Dynamic Auto Designs. They bolt up to the stock tracks. They are WAY comfortable, the dowside is that there isn't much weight savings over stock seats..

thanks, not so concerned about the weight just want something that fits and looks decent. I would just use the stock seats but the camaro seats just dont work well with a 5 point shoulder harness - those look pretty nice..

I have to carry up some patio furniture, and then go finish wiring up the FAST standalone and then pull out the 4.11's and install 3.50's.

Nice.

Magnus and I (mostly Magnus) wired up the rest of the FAST standalone and got my car running. Still have to do some work on it but it's 95% done now. Hopefully next Saturday I will have the gear done by then.

It is easy to talk about (or type in this case) how bad a car is/could/should/would or will be. We will see who really has what come June 19th. People will continue to be the internet race specialist with only 2 or 3 races under their belt and a car that typically is not even complete. The whole reason the North vs. South was started is to put the keyboards down and run your cars instead of your mouths. That is the spirit of this event!
