Did some more work on the car last night. Nothing glamorous. Fitting and welding on the pass. side frame rail.

Well worked on the car again today for a bit. Unfortunately it was to correct a mistake I made last night. One step forward- two steps back! Can't really complain though since everything has been going pretty smooth so far. I also mounted my ET Streets on my rims. I will take them to the tire store tomorrow to get balanced.

Just a quick update for you guys. It's been insane at my job, putting in alot of long/ stressful days so I haven't had the energy to hit the garage in the evenings. I took my 8.8/ parts/ tools into work yesterday since I was there for 16hrs. and it was going to be quiet for a change. I managed to get my 3.27 gears setup. Just have to repack my t-lok and the rear is good to go. I would have completed my t-lok but I needed one of my axles to finish it and I forgot it at home. :mad::mad::mad: It should be done tonight if all goes well. I'm on vacation starting friday so I should get it rolling soooooon.

Theres just nothing new/ exciting to see right now. Boring stuff is getting done. Make a road trip and you can see it in person! Gonna try to finish the frame stuff this week. Will be in the garage tonight.

OK. I installed the axles w/ c- clip elims. and backing plates. Also put the rear cover on and filled her with lube/ friction modifier. Just gotta install the brake componetnts and it'll be 100% ready to be installed.:D

It's cool to be taking parts out of the boxes and actually installing them onto something. Instead of putting box after box into my garage rafters!
