Because they originally thought it was being ordered without the brackets for the torque arm, they installed the drain plug right where the brackets were supposed to be. It also had a pipe ring welded around the drain plug, probably to protect it when being jacked up? Soooo, all that had to be removed and fixed before they could weld on the new brackets/tabs.... Should be here Monday or Tuesday unless UPS gets hijacked, or an earthquake happens, or Mt Hood decides to blow up....? LOL.....

I am ready for it to stay nice here, it is goin to be fun. I just changed the fluid is the clutch master cylinder and so far it seems to work a lot better, I am planning on driving it some now and then doing it at least one more time. The fluid that was in it was super black. I flushed and cleaned the reservoir, and filled it back up took it out and it seemed to work a lot better so far but it did not used to do it everytime so still dont know if it is completely fixed.

Where'd ya hear that? I haven't seen them lol..... We have cartoon cars over here with balloon tires out back haha....
I thought this pic of the new wheels/tires was kinda funny looking. Once the narrowed rear gets installed, they'll tuck up inside the fender.
Here's a pic of the new ET Drags next to my old ET Streets from last year.

I've taken these engines out the bottom and through the top. If you're doing a crate engine swap or something where it's a quick swap, taking it out the bottom is probably easier. I personally like the ability to have the car mobile afterward (at least a roller), so I took mine out the top. That way I can still move the car around without the engine. If you take it out of the bottom, then the car is pretty much stationary until you either get it back in, or bolt up the kmember/suspension afterward which adds more work IMO....
