Power steering line is complete, clutch line installed and bled (need to make a brace, lots of firewall flex), Corbeau seat on itsway, 17x10.5'' rears wheels installed with 295/35's, new 17x9's are on the way. ECU is on its way home from Frost tuning.

Found out my neighbor is an avid paint and body guy, and also one wicked TIG welder, so plans for a 10pt cage are being worked with him. Aluminum front door panels are on the way, along with some 1/8'' abs sheets to make a switch/gauge panel where the center console used to be.

Almost there. Still debating on exhaust setups and a few other things...but once its up and running for more than 5-8 seconds, the rest will get sorted out in due time.

Thumbs up Great job

Looks really good. Have to say I'm surprised to see how well it fits in the car. I think you have more room than some of GM's installations. Good to see some else who's not afraid to splice some wires. I don't know if you got your heater hoses figured out yet. I did a late model Hemi (525 hp 6.4L) into a 74 Challenger last year. I also had heater hose issues, so I had the guy who did the A/C lines bend up some tubing for the areas that the heater hoses would of been seen. Worked well, looked good, and was fairly cheap as there were no fittings used. Good luck

Thanks, and yes there is plenty of room for a good sized turbo. The heater hoses were pretty straight forward. Only reason they are staying on at the moment, is to shed some heat when I get it to the track.

The next pictures that will be posted, I want to include a video with, have all the new wheels on, the new seat in and mounted, and atleast the dash setup halfway completed.

Actually on second thought, if you dont mind a blurry teaser pic of the exterior, and an "almost done!!" engine bay shot, here ya go:

Again, still waiting for the new front wheels to come in. Front bumper is getting some work done, so its not on yet.




And the engine bay. Working on making a battery tray and tie-down. I need to move the FPR to make a brace for the clutch master cylinder, and still need to make an airbox
