Honestly Brian, I wish I had the motivation that you have. Plus the skills and knowledge that made your car what it is now. If that would have been my project it would still have holes in the floor.

But anyways does look amazing and I don't think Chad and I together could build a car that came out like yours. We have a long way to go before we could build something on this level.

Not that you are taking to long we just don't want to see you loose time while you are away for work.

Installed the jumper line from the firewall to my valley cover for my engine vacuum gauge
installed the oil pressure sending unit
modified the old style coolant crossover tubes with a -4AN fitting and connected to my coolant expansion tank
wired the fuel pressure and oil pressure sending units
worked on the cold side piping....still a long way to go

If you think youve got a long way to go, read back through the 52 pages and see how far you've come I definately wish I had your motivation too, you really have done a great job.

ack! I was 2 bends short of having enough aluminum tubing to finish the cold side...so I ordered some more. Also just dropped an additional $550 in miscellaneous fittings and supplies
I should have most everything I need to finish it up when I get back from the northern country

Mine hasn't run since June of 07 and my build isn't nearly as involved, expensive, or complicated as yours. My 93 will if ever probably hit the road about 10 years from now. The amount of time you've taken to get this thing together is seriously impressive for building it in your garage.
