[QUOTE="rodfarva, post: 10592285, member: 103353"] This winter, I've been quite busy with several projects on the car including weight reduction and adding a 10-point cage. My plan is to continue running the stock long block and Whipple 2.9 until late-summer or fall, and then the motor is coming out for a radical, custom twin-turbo build. Be warned, some of the photos to follow are not for the faint of heart. Charles at G.R.E.A.D Tuning has been instrumental in this project with tuning, technical assistance, and allowing me to use shop space. Just getting started [ATTACH=full]175628[/ATTACH] Look at that massive, bulky heater/ac/blower assembly [ATTACH=full]175629[/ATTACH] Minus a few unnecessary items [ATTACH=full]175630[/ATTACH] No before pic of this, but trust me, the fat has been trimmed before reinstalling it [ATTACH=full]175631[/ATTACH] Now you see it [ATTACH=full]175632[/ATTACH] Now you don't. The rear parcel shelf and supports needed to be cut out in order to prepare for installation of a rear firewall that is needed for the future fuel cell. [ATTACH=full]175633[/ATTACH] Cage is in and is being painted [ATTACH=full]175634[/ATTACH] Another view [ATTACH=full]175635[/ATTACH] And another one [ATTACH=full]175636[/ATTACH] Another one [ATTACH=full]175637[/ATTACH] The top portion of the new rear firewall [ATTACH=full]175638[/ATTACH] Another view [ATTACH=full]175639[/ATTACH] The front of the rear firewall. The firewall itself (in order to be NHRA compliant) is made of 0.032" aluminum sheet with the covering that you see in the pics. I still need to finish the piece that covers the floor where the rear seat bottom was. [ATTACH=full]175640[/ATTACH] The interior is close to being put back together. [ATTACH=full]175641[/ATTACH] The bars fit fairly tight [ATTACH=full]175642[/ATTACH] Still need to finish the custom rear seat delete bottom. [ATTACH=full]175643[/ATTACH] bye-bye evap system crap [ATTACH=full]175644[/ATTACH] Those little guys...I wouldn't worry about those little guys. Many more of those will be coming out a little bit down the road when the standalone ECU (Big Stuff 3) goes in [ATTACH=full]175645[/ATTACH] the heavy, old front brakes [ATTACH=full]175646[/ATTACH] The new and much lighter front brakes [ATTACH=full]175647[/ATTACH] I guess my right calf will be getting a workout (yes, I had to make and run custom new brake lines to most of the car) [ATTACH=full]175648[/ATTACH] The new manual master cylinder before I painted over the ugly green color [ATTACH=full]175649[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
