no set plans for any event....just need to start dialing it in and getting used to it.

Got the engine back in today.....need a couple of spotters to help get trans in thru the door.

I am blown away by the overall package you have created. Keep the pics coming!

Everything is wired and works....I plan to start it by sunday evening. I have a mini vacation next week and I will wrap up the sheetmetal in the trunk. Im not looking forward to putting the wheel tubs back in.

The bodywork on the wing is unbelievable, its like a mirror. Hot Rods by Dean did a great job on all the paint.

the back glass is still out so the upholstery guy can do some work in there, and i still need the door panels installed.

I'd like to be there when it goes through tech the first time. I want to watch the inspectors face.

That right there is absolutely AMAZING

kiwipaul · September 23, 2012, 10:43:04 PM

That is great What sort of time are you thinking it might run?

Glen · September 23, 2012, 10:45:53 PM

the Experts (those other than me), say 6.90's at 200 mph. Now of course the stars are going to have to be in alignment and I will need a rabbits foot in my pocket too.

I did start it tonight. Everything fired right up and no issues, i will sleep good tonight

Quote from: "Glen"the Experts (those other than me),

to clarify....I was implying I am in no way an expert, Iam still learning every day. :?

Glenn Kramer wrapped up my upholstery this week. Working in the OEM style door panels, handles and cranks. He was also able to put the same panels into the quarter panel area.

He also padded up the seats, the fabric is kind'a plain, but its fire resistant.

I think they turned out pretty slick

Then I needed some help in the package area so he made these two filler panels. The intercooler tubing goes thru the grommets to the ice tank.

now i can put the back glass in the car.
