uh oh...
The 12th is my free weekend (the weekend I don't have my daughter). What can I do to help get your car ready for next weekend? The only thing I have left to do is weld my homemade limiters on tomorrow then I'm ready.....Hell I can even get your tires mounted while you are finishing up.....
Not trying to rush you or anything, just offering a hand if you want it.

No. Just started tigging steel this week. Spent more time at the grinder cleaning the tungsten than I would have liked but........ It is alot of fun using a tig though. Can't wait to start tigging aluminum!...Guess I'm gonna buy a Miller synchrowave sometime in the near future and practice as often as I can. It will be nice to have this knowledge and experience to help future builds and maybe start a new career?

Damn Brian! You sure have come a long way since the days of the first F-body Central meet! I broke into the 9s around the same time as you then I got into bikes. Fast forward some years and now THIS! REALLY NICE WORK MAN!!!
I just opened a shop at 9871 Mainstreet Damascus MD 20874 with a Dyno and every tool, welder, metal brake, tubing bender, you may need if you need anything? I know you cant use the dyno though it only goes to 1200 rwhp. Only hahaha!
Anyway I can't wait to see that thing run!

Mounted the AMS1000 solenoids
Moved the remote oil filter for easier access and cleaner hose routing.
Plumbing is over 1/2 way done...
Should have the plumbing wrapped up tomorrow
Dash is in for the last time and verified all circuits work correctly
Windshield is getting installed this afternoon
New tires should be here today...will get them all installed this weekend
Getting close

It runs 
Didn't take a video since there is a yet to be determined issue causing it to idle very fast (2000 rpm). I still haven't located any vacuum leaks...
It definatly sounds pissed off though
Scaled it yesterday too....3280 lbs with me and all my safety gear.

Awesome! It's good to hear that it came alive. Looking forward to seeing it.
