I had a setback. The cxracing surge tank I was using has a few pinhole leaks in the welded seam. It's not a big leak, but it's seeping. I'm not sure how they will respond to an issue so long after I bought it.
Moral of the story: Inspect (and pressure test in this case) every part you buy when you receive it.
I ordered a new tank and went with a true swirl pot:
Hopefully that arrives soon...although I am sensing a bit of fuel line rerouting and replacing will come with it.

Paged through the threads...didn't see seat pics. Are the seats shells that need work or do they come padded & covered. Great build. Thanks for posting the build thread. I hope to build an SLC, as well.

Just read all 11 pages and all I can say is WOW. You sir are a very talented (well, multi-talented) person to be doing this all yourself. Whereabouts in NJ are you? I HAVE to see this thing when its done...

Thank you. You and me both!
It's an incredible kit.
Thanks a lot...
Good suggestion. It did turn out to be a build thread. I'm not sure how to do that though.

Great work man! This might be a stupid question, but will this car end up being street legal (please excuse me if I missed this in a previous part of the thread)?

It's been a while since I've updated this thread, but a lot has happened.
I had the intake manifold powdercoated black to match the valve covers and engine roll bars:
Redid the cooling system piping:

No wot pulls yet.

Awesome car. Not sure if this was mentioned but there is a show on ESPN "Stacy David's Gearz" and they are building one of these cars. Your's looks awesome and having that motor. I can't even imagine.
