I want to order all new stuff to do mine, but I don't want to end up with more spares that don't fit, Lol. Shed is full already!

    Great build by the way! Love that color, and doing it with A/C! Nice:thumbup:

        • Only downfall to capri brakes is the smallest wheel you can run is a 14 inch. All the common drag slicks are 13 inch. I'd trade my capri brakes for aspire brakes but I would miss some stopping power

          • Rough estimate





            Going to get a EFI washer tank so that I'll have room on the passenger side for the IC piping, might as well cause I have a EFI harness! Lol

              Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

                • I bought some Thermo Tec Thermo Guard Insulation today for my radiator hose, and AC lines to help out with extreme turbo heat. The company claims "*

                  Thermo-Guard FR offers the best in heat and sound insulation. This lightweight, durable shield does everything: reduces sound, absorbs vibration, protects from radiant heat and provides an extra layer of insulating padding. The product features 100% synthetic fiber felt that provides sound and comfort control and a high-tech foil
                  heat barrier that blocks 70%(One-Sided) of radiant heat up to 1500º F.

                  13 bucks it's worth a shot

                    • July 24,

                      Trimmed up the lower bumper for intercooler, made a support bracket for Intercooler, routed cold side, trimmed up bumper for AC line, and almost finished the lower radiator hose routing.

                      Still need to thermo wrap a few parts, fill tranny with fluid, exhaust, shift linkage, seats, bleed brakes, throw some fresh gas and start her up.











                      Looks like rust in this pic but its not
                      And I need to clamp these up!










                      Starting Tuesday! ( I hope)
