car is coming along nicely!

Been tinkering here and there. Making headers on this setup is a bitch. I'll probably need to redo the pass. side design around the starter, but for this time being these will work. Just tacking them together then I have to pull the motor to pop them off and weld all around and do collectors; also trying to rid myself of the rusted out rockers!

omg making these headers SUCKKKZ. but i am making progress but very slowly, seriously I've put in like 3 solid days. i think ive got about 1 more FULL day on these. also... drew is getting the SIL back together wooo! i remade my pass. side header to try and get some better clearance out of it. today pulled the motor and began welding all around. just about done but have to pull of one runner each side to get the tight spots. then i'll be worrying about the flange area to make the runners match the ports, being that you can reach or SEE anything on this motor in the car i got a little off alignment, but nothing some welds and a dremel inside to smooth it out wont fix... just MOAR TIME. also got one of my panels all in to remove the rust in my rocker area. will get covered with a skirt but should prevent rust spread and water...rocks... small forrest animals, etc.

1 header DONE. hopefully i can knock out the other today
mocked up my fenders real fast, just to make sure they fit the correct car haha

thanks dude, its all me. im a clean/organized fanatic... the other guys aren't that way so im constantly gettin on them and picking up stuff. it just get piled up TOO quick in the shop then you have to spend a whole WEEK cleaning/organizing if you dont stay up with it!

Big thanks to Graham and his bro John, they helped me slide this massive motor in today now that I've finished up the headers. They're not the best headers ever, but for my FOERST time ever making headers and difficulty due to lack or space and eyesight, I'm pretty proud of them.

They look pretty bomb, dude.

Now clean up that tranny so it'll match the purdy engine and headers.

dirty dirty tranny

Jeez! This thing looks like it's going to be BEASTLY! Can't wait to see/hear it running!
