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.

Looking good, but I hope the final product is clean and shiny, at least on the inside. Outside doesn't matter too much, right? haha.

Yeah. I've seen plenty of race cars that look good enough to be in a show. Basically things like no fingerprints in the engine bay, Something that doesn't look like it was hastily put togethor.

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.

You don't need a 6 digit budget, just a little grease lightning. It's all about making it look like you have a 6 digit budget when you only have $10.
Not trying to be an ass, my priorities are a little different when advertising a flagship.

So you'd rather grease your muffler bearings and have a filthy car and post a thread about it?

But it's not, it's a performance and skill contest. No matter how ugly you are, if you perform, you get to play. If you look pretty and all, that is good. But if you only have $10, then get yourself some performance parts and hose that fucker down with some dawn and call it a day.
Flagships work on rep and skill of employees. If I ever saw a perfectly groomed and clean mechanic, I would assume that he does shitty work. Or no work at all.
There is something to be said for some "Character"
my 2 cents
