Minus ceramic coating, manifolds are all done. If anyone needs any TIG welding done, take your stuff to Chris with the silver s10 before you go anywhere else

Nick, awesome set of pipes! Not much room under there now. Are you going to do any exhaust wrap being that close to the engine bay walls?
Where is the LSX shootout this year? Is it back in St. Louis? I remember last year driving through St. Louis the morning before the show and saw F-body, after Vette, after F-body on trailers. Looked like it would be a good time!

Well here is a update on the progress......Motor is coming together and should all be buttoned up within 2 weeks and ready to drop in 
--We got our fog light brackets all figured out. They will mount to our intercooler to the tabs that were welded on.
--We finished up all the welding and got her loaded up so we can start the mudding. Also got the fuel tank out and getting ready to send it out to Lonnies Performance for twin pumps.
--Finally got it dropped it off to my buddy Tim Kiefer who has done a amazing job painting this engine bay for me. The wheel wells are my favorite they look sick!!
Installing the K-member again to Tim can finish up his part and picking it up Saturday and bringing it home so the can start the assembly process!! Will have more updates as it comes together.....

Started fabbing up the fuel sump tonight, and I should have that done tomorrow. I've got the aluminum ice box designed (~12.5 gallons centered directly over the rear wheels), just need to take the dimensions into metal supermarket to get the pieces cut, then off they go to Chris for TIG welding.
Then in a nut shell all that's left to get it on the road is mounting the cooling system, a2w's, and heat exchanger, mounting the fuel pump and 380gph water pump, running lines for both, and fabbing up the cold side. In the next month and a half I'll be out of town for 3 weeks, so progress will be at a stand still for a while

I'm told it'll run well into the .20's this weekend if track prep continues to kick as much *** as it has. But of coarse this is just east coast honda bull **** and what the **** do we know what we're talking about
