Sorry, no progress at all. Been too busy playing with the motorcycles. Getting the itch to get it going again.

I'm back for an update. I finally decided that the car was close enough to being completed for me to drop it off somewhere. They will be finishing up some loose end and taking it to be dyno tuned. I hate to do it, but I just don't have the time lately. I should be delivering it around the end of the month.

Kills some of the pride, but I want to drive it. It is finally off the jackstands and ready to be pulled onto the trailer. Just waiting for a phone call.

My drop off time got delayed. I wanted to make sure there was enough fuel supply.

I have learned some things while installing the fuel system:
1) make sure you get fuel rails that clear your distributor
2) tighten fuel rail fittings before installing rail
3) an fittings are expensive
4) working in a painted engine bay is killing me
5) there is not much room for fuel lines

I will try to post up some pics tonight. I am hoping my return will not be too close. I only have an air gap between it and the downpipe. The downpipe is JetHot coated and the lines are wrapped in 2000 degree foil.

With the location of the regulator, I really have to run the lines where they are. The passenger side is tight with the downpipe and the crossover pipe.

Header wrap the down-pipe and the fuel line. Then do the foil over the line.

 That should be enough to keep the heat down. :hick:

Hey Jim-your car looks like it's coming along real good. Number 3 and 4 spark plugs look like fun to change. I hope you change your mind and finish it yourself-from what I saw you were doing a very nice job.

There are some pics floating around, but none with it on the ground/outside yet. Soon, hopefully.
