Doing a bit more thinking/measuring/eyeballing. Its looking like how I want to route thinks just wasn't going to work with a big single. I couldn't find headers to sit where I wanted with the motor sitting as low as needed to fit the intercooler/intake setup I wanted. Drew out an idea on the...

This past weekend and Tuesday we had Mardi Gras. Being so I had Tuesday off (still had to work Monday :/) and I was able to get a good bit work done. I had set out to get the front tube setup final welded to the car to where I could now start collecting parts to finalize motor placement with the...

With its final location marked I pulled it back off to cut off some excess metal and grind down some welds left from cutting off the stock front end. Once the necessary trimming was done I fit the tubing back up to start making some templates for my mistakes when cutting off the front end. On...

So, not really sure where the last two months went. Lots of things going on and little time to work on the toys. I pulled put the hardware so as I could mock up the front end, which would allow me to square up the tube front and get it ready to be welded on. IMG_8727 by lawrx, on Flickr...

Alright, a bit of catching up. Tube front end arrived. Stock stuff is cut off and tube front end is mocked up. Also threw on the fenders and grill for good measure. Just to make sure it looks like a car still after all this time. IMG_6596 by lawrx, on Flickr IMG_6597 by lawrx, on Flickr...

Got a bit more done over the weekend, had some nice weather. Had some staring rack bushings come in. These will allow me to mount the steering rack and show me max depth I can mount the motor with the motor plates. I also pulled the motor and trans so I can start shaving the firewall and...

It finally feels like fall down here in the south, finally. Only took till nearly ****ing November. Got a few things knocked out. Buddy of mine has a new edge as well that was originally a v6 that he swapped to a v8, and his is a MUCH more street oriented car than mine, and he wanted my factory...

Guys, its ****ing hot. Last weekend I went out to work on the car, and just couldn't. It was sweltering. It doesn't help in the afternoon my garage is just beat on by the sun. I ended up running to Home Depot and picking up a saw to cut up the wood to make some stands. Other than that I did...

new computer (12 of 25) by lawrx, on Flickr new computer (13 of 25) by lawrx, on Flickr With the new part mocked up it was back to running wires. As I've been going along I've been writing down on my tape list what needs to be done wiring wise. Happy to say that list is MUCH shorter now...

Was able to get a decent bit of work done the other night. Started out by pulling the front lower control arms off. The wheels I previously posted about were in trade for these. I was planning on getting adjustable ones anyway so it worked out well. With the arms pulled I started with running...
