I didn't get a chance to take any videos sorry, been working crazy overtime and its been hard to keep the updates coming. Got my harness and pcm in from LS Connection and it turned out great! Also grabbed a waterpump that should work out the best for my set up...needed on that had the outlet as close to the driverside as possible cutting down on a longer radiator hose. My new tri flow radiator from eastwood had to be modified just a bit to fit in the shell behind the old radiator, but it ended up working out great. We had to move the bottom outlet up about two inches so the bottom rad hose would clear the airbag crossmember. Engine and trans are back together again and there set in place with motor mounts and trans crossmembers getting mocked up. engine sits low enough for me to run a hood when everything is said and done.

body is off once again to get most of the final welds done on the frame. i didnt really like the brackets i got from speedway for the wishbone ends, they seemed kinda cheesy so Willis welding and fab came up with a new design for me. These are way more solid and will blend in perfect when the body is on. Tie rod is on and we also added a dual "cold beer intake". Still has to be trimmed a bit, there will be about a 2" gap between it and the rad.

We made some modifications to the fuel cell and to the ThorBros watts link kit. We added tube connectors so it would be easier to remove if we needed to get to the fuel cell or rear diff. Car is back on all four again. waiting on some parts for the fuel system and some end caps for the custom air tank that will be hidden next to the rear kick up of the frame. Should be having a decent amount of updates in the next few weeks.

My buddy started to build a hidden airtank that will match the kickup of the frame.
