Dat feel when progress is coming along... you know dat feel?



Drug her out from the back of the shop and gave her a bath.







Custom fabbed poly motor mounts done.





Custom fabbed chromemoly tranny crossmember done.





Fuel cell done, just needs to be mounted:

Roxy approves.



O lawd. What dun happened here?



3/16" 6061 aluminum for the fuel cell.



Jon tigging the fuel cell up.



Done. It'll hold 25ish gallons. Perfect for e85. Road trips to Dallas and Houston here we come...



Cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Was dusty from sitting a while.

Roxy is just sniffing and wondering why your car always smells like rancid burrito farts.

Congrats on the progress though, foo.

what about putting the filter in between the tank and pump, so you keep the trash out of the pump

Thanks. $700 for a fuel cell, works with your stock fuel sending unit, and will keep stock fill location.

Always nice to see some progress Eric. That fuel cell looks sick, may have to hit up Jon for one of those. Would have stopped by yalls table last night at Razoos I was just pretty busy. Went out to that sat meet there at frys a couple weeks back and ran a little KB cobra, most racing I've done since I've been up here. Holler at me.

Thanks man. No problem, I saw you were pretty busy, haha. Some of the girls that work there are 10/10 heavenly blessed beauties, I might need to go again so you can hook it up. lol.

Another update... Custom fabbed chromemoly torque arm done. All tig welded. Weighed 12lbs with bushing and rod ends on it.
