A local has some push rods that should work, so Ill be picking those up and tossing em in. Im a bit worried because these Lunati Golds seem a bit high and Im hoping they rockers will fit under the valve covers without a spacer....
Once I find a tubing cutter I can finish up the ABS delete and linelock, then I can throw my wheels on. Getting pretty excited.

Ive been pretty lazy on this whole project. Now Im stuck at getting the brake lines flared for my ABS delete kit. The tool SJM sent me sucked and I ended up breaking the wingnut trying to tighten the brake line enough to keep the line from moving.

Upgraded oil feed to -4 and added an oil pressure sensor
Added fuel pressor sensor
Pulled out the pressed in fittings on the water pump, time to get the holes tapped
Trying to retain the stealth look by making the intercooler black
Finally painted the bumper I built, matches the engine bay and intercooler
End result
Painted the strut tower brace, then realized it was a brighter red than I put on the TB and intake manifold. I like this color more though..

Wish I had a beach to go to lol
Decided to keep the STB the same color and paint the TB to match. Ill just paint the intake manifold flat black like everything else and call it good. It was too much of a pain in the *** to mask and paint the way I did before.

Youll have a hard time finding one. The company went out of business about 5 years ago. I might have stuck with truck manifolds if I did it all over again.

Finally have electricity working in the car. Just need to run grounds from the head to the block, and the block to the chassis.
Time to start some reassembly.
