just need to finish covering the wiring on the fuel pump harness and its all complete!






Also just ordered a Origin Lab Type 1 hood, Origin lab roof spoiler and origin lab small lip for the trunk

should look like this when its done in the rear just wider, much wider.



I have also considered wrapping the roof on my car a light gray, like this:

I love this car and build thread, nice work! With the car becoming more and more race oriented, do you ever miss the old 350hp street friendly version that you could just hop in and cruise with?

Will do! im kinda at a hold pattern till i get the other shell out of my trailer. the other shell is sitting in the trailer on jack stands while the arms are at another company getting mocked up so they can make adjustable arms.

Thanks man, Very track oriented car but I do drive it on the street all the time. I built it a way to make it still street friendly im really against cars that are trailered to events and then left to rot away in a garage till they are needed again. I firmly beleive that all cars should be driven on the street regardless of how wild it gets.

Heres the plan for color, probably not this exact but it may be close.


So come spring, when it warms up the car will be changing colors to something that suits me a bit more better. OG's kinda already have an idea, but im just going to say this, it will be a candy color and it will look awesome with gold reflective decals.

so im just going to put these right here.






Im going to try and fire it up here next weekend I think. Ive just got to figure out the fan controller wiring again since I seemed to have forgotten it .


Not much left, once Ive got my control arms back from the other car im going to get the exhaust figured out and then its time to start mounting body panels. Id like to test the fuel system soon as well.

Over the weekend I basicly got it ready to fire up, primed the fuel pumps and tried to fix a few leaks. its got coolant, oil and trans fluid. I also added FSMoto solid front diff ear bushings so the diff is 100% solidly mounted and not just sleeved. FSMoto bushings are rare and stupid hard to get ahold of im just glad i finally got a set.






LOL I need to get a sound clip of fuel pumps, its loud as can be haha.

anyways it starts up and runs although it doesent want to run at all. im guessing its just to cold for it right now. once I get the fuel leaks taken care of ill test it again and see if i can get it running for a while.

on yea, all my coil packs have cracked so I now need new ones. FML.
