I will certainly let you know. All I need to do is fine out how to control the X and im there. I will wait a little bit though. I need a cage.
Update of the day. Got the trans strapped onto the jack. The block is tapped and the Aster Bracket is on. Just collecting **** and sorting through all the hardware. Going to haul the motor to the car and get truly started within a week.
Got my MWC CM A-Arms. Lowers only. No need for uppers as far as what I have read and what I have been told. I think it should save around 20lbs off the front, and the VFN hood will be another 20ish. so theres another 40 gone soon.

Verdad Gallardo your right. i dont know what the hell is going on. apparently i need to do something to the shocks and something is wrong i dont know. all i know is its not right. eric told me something about a T bar or something. i dont know.
all is well. MWC said that is the design they use. he assures me its what i need so that makes me feel better. according to him they use a 2 piece lower design. He however did notice another problem entirely based off the photo and is already shipping me what I need to get it fixed and keeping me in my time frame. I need this thing caged, and with a full suspension under it for september if at all possible.
Per MWC email:
"Those are 2 piece lowers. The long skinny rod attaches to the main arm(with the ball joint). Connect the two by inserting the slot clevis(opposite the heim jointed end) onto the 1/4" thick tab near the ball joint. They are correct for what you need, see the attached pic and the process is basically the same."
Also, the shop is cleaned up, and we got this thing ready to rock and roll. Ill keep updates rolling regularly again here really soon. I want to take the update out of my thread name but it will not let me. Someone fetch admin to take it off.

It has begun. (mortal kombat style)
Alot done in the past few days. 9-10pm on work nights. My buddy from StreetCarr Fabrications Donnie Carr has been a real big help lending me his fab skills for boxing in the upper radiator support. He measured twice and cut once to say the least. Focusing on making it look factory. Also we dropped the K member out, I am going to clean up the steering rack with some gunk and a wire brush. Also that heavy *** transmission is strapped down and up in the air. I started mocking up the MWC K member and it fit like a glove. We got the 2 piece lowers installed as well. Once the alignment is done ill tack the washers into place. Mike @ Vengeance Racing has the PCM and is putting a startup motor tune on it. The motor arrives saturday. AES is going to need to send me the correct valley cover. Other than that all went smooth. Even the BMR crossmember is fitting really well. Got the clamps on the fuel lines and ran them and removed the old hard lines. Also bought a 98-99 Throttle body cable so I can do ahead and pull the traction control and cruise out to clean up the engine bay even more. I got my Yofab power steering covers in, and the Wazee billet pulley arrives tomorrow. Julio at alkycontrol hooked me up with a second 15gph nozzle and recommends the level 7 setting. We should have the radiator support completely boxed and painted tomorrow and get some supports for it and some rubber pieces to keep it from rubbing. Progress, how sweet it is.

Looking real good man. You've taken your time getting all your parts. I dont think I have the patience.LoL. Anyway got my ws6 w/390 in Dallas getting tune by a vett guy who knows his stuff. As yoy know we were one of the first to get the 390's from AES and know there coming together. Ill keep you posted what it makes on the dyno.
isnt yours the silver car on youtube. i wondered what the hell ever happened to you. dont film with a potato next time. AES has an ls3 style valley cover on there that i am sending back once the ls1/ls6 cover gets here. it has no provisions for the sensors on it. Mike was short handed today but is doing his best to get it together.
Glad to see your off and running. Can't wait to see what it does.
Side note, I would cover any glass(windshield) when cutting, grinding or welding anywhere near it. Those little sparks will embed in the glass and mess it up quick.
