Default Thanks!
I just wanted to say thanks to Mark and Doug for all the help they given up lately. They came over last Friday to help get the car ready and instead helped me with my Hot water heater replacement.

THANKS GUYS!!!!

I worked pretty hard last week to get a bunch of stuff done and got down to waiting on mis-boxed parts today so I cleaned up the shop some and drug the y-pipe out from under the car and modified it to fit the new MADMAN setup. Then I polished up the other two wheels(one of which Mark had fixed,THANKS AGAIN MARK) and installed them. I went through and tightened every thing but the TQ Arm adjustments and I set the car on the ground.

She fired right off on the first hit breathing out the newly fit 4inch exhaust pipe. I will have to get the rest of the stuff in the car but you can tell it is lighter by the new stance









THANKS GUYS!!

CRAZY Bastard!!! Looking good Ellis. Do you think the tracks will let your latest weight reduction mod thru tech? I thought they required fenders & hoods.

And you are most welcome my friend. I only wish we could have got it ready for the show last weekend. Oh well, next time WE will rule. On that note, we need to talk cams once more.

You are one crazy SOMBITCH!!! It is my pleasure to help out where I can. Damn, That car looks mean as hell. Hopefully you put it back in the garage or you will find it floating in the Snohomish River when you get home.

LOL I do not remember. I do remember picking up power the most through the mid range.

Yeah that is the valve cover catch can/breather. A second one goes in the inside of the frame for the PCV.
