    parachute mounted yesterday. Intercooler will be ordered end of week. 5 inch thick Precision or Bell good for 2000 cfm. Brakes will be done this coming week as should the downpipes and all the finish detail work. Will be boxing in the entire frame and throw some bracing in there to keep this thing stable at high speeds in quarter. Eighth mile track 6 miles from my house so that is a little convenient. Everything should fit under stock hood, but with a Stage 2 scoop. Having SD Tempest post some more pics. Wilwood master cylinder on as well. Looks like a real car now. I have been dying ever since I sold the supercharged GS.

    More progress! It's a shame the underside of this car will be hidden because it looks awesome!

    Nice clean look! That's almost exactly how I did mine. Yours looks way prettier though. I might have to go back and polish the piping, that looks sweet.
