She's actually cool with it . Only request from her is that I have a automatic tranny put in . I have a MAJOR problem sticking to a budget when it comes to toys & hobbies . A hunting trip to Africa for 5 animals turned into 28 , a factory rifle gets so much custom parts to it I could have just built a custom rifle for 1/2 the price lol . I'm just scared it will turn into "it's only ANOTHER 5,000.00 to do ...." X 15 different things Hahahah .

Don't even think about a budget with a project like this! :work:

Corey does great work. I'd highly recommend him to anyone thinking about a project like this.

The engine and transmission are all aligned now. The shifter is installed and fits through the factory hole perfectly. Header is installed on the passenger side and should be completed tomorrow.

Today I ordered the Lokar throttle cable and brakets. Tomorrow I will order the Gauges and the rest of the electronics.

This has truly been a great build thus far! I've had a lot of fun with it along the way and, I've also likely created a few new curse words with it as well. It's part of the deal when you get into a project like this. There are so many unforeseeable issues that can come up that you can't truly set a budget, unless you like pulling your hair out! LOL

Wow that's beautiful

Thanks. It's certainly been a fun project. Finding a few clashes to work thru. I guess that's to be expected on something like this. Part of the fun. If it will be finished for the Salty Cajun tournament I'll bring it over.

I've been extremely busy with a new work project and Corey has been expanding his business. I read through the fourm occasionally but haven't been able to wet a line in months and haven't had anything to contribute. So I thought I'd give a quick update on the car. It's slowed down some but we are getting near the end I believe.

First here is a picture I took of the car last time I saw it. It's next to a Toyota Corolla to give you an idea how low this thing is.

The wiring is ongoing. This car will have every modern convenience. GPS speedometer, digital gauges, power window, power locks, all lights are LED's, cruise etc...

This is the control module for the cruise, all wiring is hidden as much as possible.
