Lot of **** going on at the house right now with remodeling and shitty neighbors I gotta deal with now, in turn making me spend my car funds on security cameras and a privacy fence.... ultimate fail on finishing up the car. Good news is its almost complete so I'll be getting back to it soon.

You need a sign that reads "truspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again"... and under the sign, get a bunch of used rifle shells, empty shotgun shells, something, and scatter them about.

Or, put a bear trap in the front yard that's painted a neon color, and a sign above it that reads "you can see this one, you can't see the rest of them, keep out"

good idea JL, lol. However on a good note i am working on the car, just not updating just yet cause no fun progress has been made. Got the trans lines made and ran, now im modding the center console for the shifter and cut hole in floor to run cable and hooked up to trans. So the trans is all hooked up ready to roll. Waiting on a brake line from Global West which should be here next week and all the brakes are hooked up and bled.

Then after that i do believe i move on to fabbing up the turbo kit.

Lookin good man! I wish there was a white rustoleum paint that would come out as good as the black did under your hood. And do you by chance have any close up pics of the gauges you had mounted under your cd player area in the begining of the thread? Ive been wanting to mine in a similar way and am checkin out ideas.

got a few things done. Cut out the section of frame and used some 4130 bar to fill it back in and cut out the crap flap also. A lot more room for the turbo and pipe routing.
