I'll post more later... we broke off a piston TDC in the motor, shawn fished it out. She fired and was running -30 degrees timing, moved the wheel and its alive and kicking. Front bumper is on, fenders are on. Just need to get it up on boost and load her into the trailer.

got the engine dialed in yesterday,sounds pretty good,just need a couple of minor adjustments.rest of the car looks to be ready to rock-if all goes well this week we should be on the track friday night making some shakedown passes.Hopefully we can get the car figured out pretty quick,the Ultimate Outlaw Shootout is the following weekend and we would certainly like to put on a good showing there.

I think he is talking about a tool that screws into the head and helps to find TDC also known as a "piston stop". Well evidently that piston didnt want to be stopped, lol.
