Looks great man! Mine should be up and running over the next few days. Your setup is very similar to mine as well. Good luck!

I will most likely convert it to a 10 point or cut it all out and start over

That's a rollbar in the car currently (as I see it), no halo or front bars there.

I was just about to ask the same question, as the hardware looks capable of hitting the single digits.

Nice set-up, digging the wheels!

Looks great! It's gonna roll on out man.

FWIW- I'd look into going with the manual master brake kit. You probably aren't going to have enough vacuum at idle to stall the car up or to stage up at the tree.

I love everything about the whole car. It sure looks like you are doing it right.

It looks like it will need a 10 point cage!

nice, interested in your evap setup. is it just a male fitting welded to the valley and the canister bolted to the head? no vaccum pump or anything else?

the car is still red my camara is junk. The car has been running for a while I need keith or someone to tune it. I have only ran the car for about 3 minutes because it runs so rich. The inside of the mufflers are already dark black and it wont idle

just a male fitting welded to the intake like you said. It is mostly a street car so I didnt want to run a vaccum pump. I thought it would be better than a breather on the valve cover and I would be able to catch the oil
