Default stuff i have been up to and done

Dont think this car will EVER be done.... But here is some stuff that i have been doing/up to/received from the very nice brown truck

Got Canton over flow tanks for the engine coolant and supercharger coolant. Welds look pretty nice, and is a VERY tight fit. still need to make sure it will fit all under the hood tho





Started getting stuff rady for the rearend. All the brackets are welded on and ready to go, used POR15 to paint the rearend. Going to be filling it with 3.55 gears, strange 33 spline spool, 33 spline axles with C-Clip eliminators, and then i also have their disk brake kit to go along with it







Then i am going to be making my own cluster using aluminum and i am filling it with phantom II gauges, using only a speedometer, voltmeter, fuel gauge, oil preasure, and water temp. Then i got their monster 5"tach with shift light which will be going on the side of the instrument cluster housing






Now hopefully i will be able to get some stuff done this week, and possibly get the trans in.... we will see

got a cowl already (only a 2.5") and if it doesnt clear when i test fit it, then i will have to hack into the car a little more to lower the tanks OR send them back and pay my buddy to build me a custom one..... / find something that will fit
