Okayz, heres the latest info
got the interior reupholstered and did a dash swap, i think it turned out pretty tight. I'd like to get poptrunk, scissordoors, and lift it with some 30's on it, but well see how that goes.
Finished redoing fuel system, would have liked to have built non-ghetto headers today, but still playing phone tag with the guy I'm picking up my flanges from.
Redid everything with real stainless line, -10 -8 and -6 marine / air force fittings and flipped the pump on, aeromotives are really pissed off sounding while tryign to push fuel thru the system, but holds a sustained 65 psi for a couple minutes no problems, ill crank it up to 80 tomorrow just to make sure, then back down to 65ish.
Under where the hood goes when attatched
Started messing with intake stuff, but our TIG is down so I'll wait till its back up so someone can weld it together instead of using 90 clamps just for simplicity sake.
redid all the fuel cell, not the cleanest install on earth, but gets the job done. Gonna remake the firewall again tomorrow or this weekend.
More updates maybe sunday or so, hopefully have the other few things I'm missing here by tomorrow or saturday, so hopefully burnouts and other related tendency video soon.
I also have not eaten any pizza or taco bell today, but I have drank Mountain Dew and a good bit of Milk.

give me a 6 digit budget to buy stupid shit like engine bay paint that doesnt let anything stick and your fingerprints will go bye bye.
also car isnt done, unlike some other shops/people we dont give the car a full detail after we change the blinker fluid to make a thread about it on the internet. when its done it will get cleaned up.

Question....why does anyone care about how the progress on your car......the world doesn't revolve around you and your car......sorry it doesn't go that way. I understand if people want to know about it. In that case you message them or call them on the phone and be like yeah I got all this done and blah blah blah blah blah......Just thought i'd inform you.
nice to see you care enough to post in this thread

mayb people do call me/text me/message me on how car is coming, and this is better form of mass informing.
in reality, everyone that knows me can vouch, i kinda dont really give two shits. i just wanna go drift.

Well if that's the case what's the front end conversion for if you just want to go out and drift?
I'm just giving you a hard time, but big time sponsors aren't just wanting to get represented with a dirty car.
Do you ever claim any contingencies?

+1, and yes he gets contingencies.Have you ever met him?I went to an event or two with him as pit crew.You have to know him to understand he may seem like he doesn't give two shits but come event time he's 100% focused and professional on what he has to do and what has to be done, including a clean presentable car.We stopped at like 6a.m. to wash his car the day off qualifying before right before we got to the track so it would be as clean as possible and made sure we had the inside looking as best we could with what we had.
