JRracing it looks like the car is coming along great, I will have to stop by sometime and take a peak. Also when the weather gets nice I need to slide the TA by and have you look at the bumpers and see what you think about painting them.

It's going to have a coan th400 behind it with a 4500 converter.
I'm hoping she'll fly.

Update time, I spent some time finishing up the paint work on the engine bay. I also re painted the K member and A arms. I will be installing it back on the car tomorrow with the manual rack. I painted the engine bay the factory body color with dupont base/clear coat and did the outer wheel house with por 15.

I also got it to my chassis guy and got the 8pt CM cage done and through the floor sub frame connectors. He also made me a new tranny cross member and made new motor stands on the K member. He busted *** with a friend and did it all in two days. I was shocked. There is a few things I'm concerned with but I will get them worked out. The seat needs to go back and down, it hits the door bars and the bar does not cross between my shoulder and elbow. So I need to get that resolved. And the tranny mount does not have the double humps in it for the dual exhaust. I will have to modify that.
But the guys work is kick ***.
I will get the cage and floor paited with por 15 when I get the seats worked out and make a plate for the shifter to sit on.

I think it should have came out further forward before starting downward. The bar goes down to quick, there for not crossing were it needs to next to my arm.
