Is it just the picture quality, or do I see the pistons out of the motor? Did you hurt the motor when it slammed down in Louisiana? Who is doing the motor work?

That car is going to be ridiculous! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Nice work Madman! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

That is a bare block that I use for mock up purposes. It is easier to work around and lifting in and out. Plus this way no grinding dust etcetera gets in a good motor. The real motor should be in the car in two weeks.

The radiator with pump, fan and shroud will sell for $875.00 with fittings.

Thanks for all the comps guys, and sorry for my delay in responding. I'm away from the computer alot these days.

Big thanks to Madman, and his guys. They DO NOT F$%k around. Those pictures are just a few days old...and way obsolete already. Hope to have some updates for you real soon. Its just damn hard keeping up with Brian.

Jason thanks for the help man! We will be in touch for sure <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

So is the PAIN written in shoe paint on the rear window a permanent modification after Thunder? Looking good, can't wait to see it.

I can't get the pics to open now but if I remember right, the fuel pump was quite a bit higher than the sump. How is that going to work? I was under the impression that the pump needed to be as low as or under where the lines come out of the sump.

Theoretically yall are right BUT in a perfect world only. Since we live here not there you cant put the pump lower than the sump. SOOO you have to force the fuel to the pump. Being that the pump is behind the cell yet 2 inches above the sump the force of launching the car will force the fuel into the pump. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Thanks for noticing though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
