It all comes in time young grass hopper. lol! this is the first phase of this set up. When I put my new motor in I will be coating, doing a final paint touch up, and correcting anything that doesn't work or needs a tweak or two.

hears what i was up to today. got the swirl pot finished and painted. no leaks so i mounted it in its spot along with made a stand for my battery box to make way for the new spot for the inline pump and filters. also cut the cover for the wheel well and am going to do some sound detaining to cover up the noise a bit from the pump.

Are you tuning this yourself? I only assume so b/c you have done this much work yourself...

fobiawrx:

Your car is looking great, very serious build and it's easy to see your fabbing/welding skills have improved greatly since the build started.

What was never lacking is your creativity; I came across your car by chance (I didn't know about this website or NASOIC) and it inspired me to go a different route with my own build.

Great job and best of luck with the tune and everything else

Chris
