Car does look good. I wish I could do that to my engine bay and keep it looking that good!
That's one reason I wanted to give it the same consideration as the outside , to help with being able to keep it clean . Some spray wax will do wonders in there with all that clear on there .

So then what happened?
Car sits in garage waiting for me to have the time to work on it .

I did get the motor together last weekend and the ass of the car reassembled this last weekend. . Just need the rear oil slinger to complete and drop it in the car next weekend . It will be several weeks till it fires though . I need at least 3 weekends to complete all the wiring and re assemble some more of the car . Not rushing anymore, just taking my time and doing it right . I polished the crank support. I should have some nice pics next week .

Main reason it has taken so long this time around is the new job. I don't have near as much free time these days . I am getting a little more caught up though and the fever is definitely back !

Looks good Billy. Only thing it needs now is my F1-"C" head unit, and it comes with a 3.7" pulley!
Yea. but that F1-a in my photo has a 3.9 12 rib with grooves in it ! Should be in the 25-27 psi range . I think it will suffice . LOL

I hear you on that. Took me all day just to wire the switch panel and run the battery from the trunk and do the lights. So much more to do.

Will we see this car next year at the S197forum event? A F1A at 27 psi is going to be a site to see---like Cruzintomuch's car.

LOL! Yea its a good thing the last one has been so busy at work or this car may have got the best of me . I needed the time away from it , but after more than a year with no " GO FAST" I am more then ready to get on the road and track . I really feel I am making more solid decisions now about this build . Still gona see what its got on the "20s" though .

Thanks Mike

Yea , I don't even know where the last year has gone . To busy trying to make the money to have fun , that there is no time left for it . Oh well the mad summer rush is done at work and now I can start to think about having some fun again . I look at it like this , these days there is no need in bitching about working to much !
