Progress report
Here's a few pics from today. We finally go the tub painted and ready to assemble. Now I've got to figure out the stud length for the 915 on my 3.2l. If anyone knows let me know. I've got it figured at 110mm for the short three and 130mm for the starter stud, does that sound right?

Duke... Beautiful job! Love to drop by some time if you wouldn't mind. What light weight are you building?

Rattlsnak- The rear tray and seat area are raw aluminum. The white plastic covering is still on the aluminum though, that's what makes it look gray. I'll take some pics of that when I'm finished and take the plastic off.
Overman- Stop by anytime, I'll pm you my phone number. I'm not sure what you mean by "what light weight"? I'm just trying to strip as much as possible.

Nice no- driprails. I just did this on a car a few weeks ago and what a pain it is to get the underlying metal nice and clean so the welds come out nicely!
Its a super clean look. NIce work

Here's some more progress. Even tried to fire it, but had some issues with the crank sensor. Hopefully we'll have that remedied by next weekend.
Well can't seem to upload pics right now so I'll try again later.

Some from today, getting closer. Now If I could get the painters to finish I'd be finished.
 Took it for a test drive and got pulled over. JK

Ianc- That's actually my neighbors house. He's a cop but very understanding (read- he has a cherry '69 Chevelle) besides I took him for a spin also. I just thought the pic was funny.
