Been putting in some work on the car, motor is in and has oil pressure, not a whole lot to button up now!

Photo dump of some progress shots, had to build some custom stainless headers from scratch, mid plate and motor plate, blower install, tick intercooler, been having a ton of fun on this thing.

Why are the front frame tubes biased to the right side, making it more complicated to install the steering rack and radiator support?

Is that the floor of you new garage?

Do you have as water jet or laser cutter? The brackets are very well done.

Your work is meticulous...amazing.

Since Atco is closed, is the nearest track Maple Grove or Island Dragway (is it still open?)?

Read through this entire thread over the last couple days. It was pretty enlightening to see what all goes into modifying one of these cars to handle power rather than just hearing about it. Looks like it’ll be a lot of fun when it’s done
