LOL... Yeah it's too cold for me to finish mine. I have a salamander but the garage isn't vented so it gets to many fumes in there and gives me a headache after too long.

Hoping to just save for a couple more months, and then go out and finish it up enough to drive by the end of April sometime.

My work slowed WAY down here lately and so I haven't had the extra $ to get the stuff I wanted. It sucks but hey- I got all this summer to save and see what I get from being patient I guess! My plans are still the same. But the 9 Inch is my Top Priority!

Good Luck with yours man!
Hope it turns out well for ya!

Quick Update on my car!!!


Ordered some more goodies...

-TSP 1 7/8" Longtubes & TSP ORY Pipe (Not sure if I'm putting the LM1 on it or just keeping my TSP True Duals just yet) I'm a little haha

-Also sent my Yank SS4000 back to Yank for a cut and clean.
-The Transmission is Rebuilt and ready to go....
-I'm ordering all of my gaskets I need to put the engine back together this week. (The intake and accessories are off)
-Getting a new Trans Cooler this week also, since my tranny went back in October! 
*(Had metal in the lines and had to flush everything out)
-I also have a Line Lock going on the car now.
-I deleted the Front Sway Bar Brackets, Pass. Side Air Bag, STB, ABS System, and also the seats. I'm Trying to make it as light as I can on a budget. 
-I'm Mounting the Battery in the rear
- I'm gonna put the 15x10 Pro Stars on the rear for this season, and I Plan on buying 2 15x4/4.5 for the front as well. I got a really good deal on the rear pro stars and 27x10.5x15 MT ET Streets...
I'm actually going to buy some 295/55/15 MT ET Street Radials for the street... And only run the ET Streets at the track.

*I still need to order my Dual Walbro 255lph fuel Pump kit and all the extras to go with it. (The Wiring Kit and the other stuff!)
And still need to look into getting all of the fittings to do the ABS Delete and Line Lock Kit Install! 
As well as Get it Tuned when It's all done... I'm Planning on going to Mike Norris for the tune!


UPDATE: I placed my order with Eric at MWC for my new FAB 9" today! 
*3-17-10

So the final story on the rearend is this...
MWC Fab 9" (Stock Length), Detroit Locker Differential, Richmond 3.70 gears, Strange 35 Spline Rear Axles, Aluminum Center Section and Pro Gear Pinnion Support, Back Brace, Black Powdercoating, Short (Chassis Mounted) Torque Arm w/DS Loop, Strange Rear Race Brakes.

I still need to order my Strange Chromemoly Driveshaft and Rear Anti-Roll Bar (Drag Bar)... But I ran out of $ lol!
So I will have to get the other stuff later. And
