Close Jeff, getting ready to start her up to make sure everything is working before I button it up...next big task is fabbing the tunnel cover. Also waiting for a new mount from Keisler as the one that they sent me is defective as the nut that is embedded in the rubber did not get welded and I can't tighten the both mound bolts...they said this is a common issue.

It was sincere Ric. I hope you get it back together soon so you can join us at Baker's or where ever.

It moves under its own power
 
Finally 2 months after I started I got to drive the car today with the 5 speed in it..no interior just the one bucket bolted down and big hole in the floor tunnel that has to be covered. According to the anylzer on Keisler site it now accerates like its got a 4.60 rear end and I believe it...it's nuts getting on it as it went sideways when I hit second gear. I think I'm going to like it.

I got a guy at that I'm going to take it to tomorrow that is going to look to see what he can do to fab a new tunnel for me.

Finally, great news Ric. When can I take it out and beat the crap out of it? Seriously, glad you've almost got it wrapped up, been missing you at Baker's.
