I have to apologize guys been way busy and a few months coming but figured I would post some of the photo's from my build. I didn't take photos every step by step but I am definitely proud of the work with myself and my best friend / teammate. We never had the fancy tools or access to lifts, jack stand garage boys! We definitely changed things here and there but it all came together for a project of pure awesome. The car has not been tuned yet we are finishing the last bits (Drive shaft and trans cooler lines) and it will be tuned shortly !

Here's where I started

I'm missing some good photos of the exhaust / cutouts and BMR K member / radiator support. The tranny was also built with a deep pan and clutches / circle D 3b converter. Will try to get more goodies to add to the thread when I get home out of town for work but enjoy!

I know all the specs off the top of my head so any questions ask away. This project was a ton of work and I definitely went through several different levels of frustration but ready for all the hard work to come to fruition.

I'd like to thank a few shops for helping me along the way Terry with Team beefcake racing , Eric at JPC , Daniel at Triangle speed , G&G Racecraft , Jeff and John at hellion , Mark and Greg at MMR, Steve and chris at BBR. All these guys have done me right and answered my questions when I had them and I had a few lol.

One of the cleanest builds I've seen. Great job and the car looks amazing. What kind of numbers/times are you looking to make.
