Got the front wheels back from coating and mounted the tires.... Put them on the car to see how they look, I like em but I think I will like em even more if i can get a dog dish cap mounted on there. Still gotta get dust caps for it too.
They really do look like a Steel Wheel.
Got the turbo hot side pipes finished up, Tried out DEI new "titanium" wrap but not sure if I really like it or not, does not fit as tight as conventional wrap.
Gotta get some stainless ties then I will take off the hose clamps and also clean up the flex pipes and it should look ok for some budget junk.

Ok... Been slow on the build progress lately but I am back at it.
New Fuel system for this car consits of:
Fuel pump is an Aeromotive "Eliminator" they build them for fast and I just got this one in black because its sooo much better then red!
-12an Feed out of the fuel cell
Into a Aeromotive -12an Pro series 100micron filter
Through the pump
Into an Aeromotive -10an 10micron filter
Out of the filter with -10an
10an feed ot the front
8an return from reg to the cell
Aeromotive Billet speed controller because this thing sees a LOT of street cruising
Seimens deka 93lb Injectors
Ran the fuel lines through the frame and they come out with bulkheads, nice and clean and out of the way of moving suspension and or hot exhaust etc.
In order to get the -10an 90* in a tight enough radius I had to use blue and red but otherwise all of the fittings are black or black and silver. The new plate will be welded into the floor and hide all of this and tie everything together as soon as I finish the fuel pump mount.
Also had another set of heads done by a local head porting wizard.... These things look INSANE!!!!! Pictures truley do not do them justice, also went with bigger Manley stainless valves this go around as well. I am quite sure with very little changes this thing is going to pick up some power with the head work alone. They were obviously not finished in the pictures but I just couldn't help but share!
Beyond that I also have a LARGE (1500+) Reichard racing water to air intercooler on the way as well as a few other small goodies. My 10 point cro-mo cage should be here in the next week or so and then the mad thrash begins to get it in the car before my chassis cert apointment on april 11, going for an 8.50 tag.
Here is a little look into something else I have been working on a little bit in an attempt to dumb down the drag look even more especially the Moser axles with 5/8 studs.
Great build! Enjoyed the videos too.????
