Tack it together and ship it up. Yeah Its a good durable machine. No frills or extras but gets the job done. The next step will more than likely be a dynasty or a syncrowave, but if you know how to weld this thing works great. Only complaint is it lacks enough poop for the thicker aluminum, but I have been able to use an old 250 idealarc so no biggy.
More boxes waiting at home today, still deciding if i'll work tomorrow...

I have been slacking on pictures, but I finally drove it this weekend. I had to load a maf tune back in it for emissions. I'll hopefully have that taken care of this week. I just hav ea few finishing touches to take care of for the time being. Alignment tomorrow night (fingers crossed). It was an awesome feeling to fire it up and get it outside for a quick bath!

between the awesome welds and shiny piping, you dont even notice all that dirt and junk sitting on the sides of the engine bay. haha
We def need some pics of it outside
Are you doing all the tuning yourself or having it done somewhere? Is it going on a dyno or you relying on the track for results?
Whats that hose with the red cover that is running across the engine bay over the intake/tb area?
edit:nevermind, I see its for fuel, looks outta place and that massive red cover keeps grabbing my eye.

Yeah ill get some pictures once i get it out a few more times. The fire sleeve was on there from before. I didnt do anything with the fuel system other than a intank and patch it back together... Tthat will be down the road. I'm getting the alignment tonight, and hopefully emissions thursday afternoon or saturday morning. Lots of clean up work to do, but it'll run and drive which makes additional work a little more bearable. I plan on tuning it myself.

I haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to throw up a finished picture. Hopefully I will get to the dyno next weekend. Right now I'm running at 10 pounds, and everything seems great.
