Thanks Dan... The motor is being built as we speak. It's a 2110 Turbo w/ all the goodies. It will probably be mildly tuned at 250hp or so, but capable of 300. The trans is also being built w/ all new turbo gearing.
The body will rejoin it's chassis Thursday and after 2 days or so of body assembly, it'll be back at my place Fri. or Sat. to start final assembly..Lots to do!!!

Nah, I drive pretty conservsatively, from 120-145mph that is... ;D A little bit of undercoating on the fenders..Afterall, this car is being built to be driven..only trailer it might ever see is an impound trailer, if they can catch me.  |

The chop looks like it was meant to be that way. If I didn't know, from the pics, It would look like that's how it's supposed to be. IMO that makes it a good modification. If you can tell something's up, but can't tell what it is, then you've done a good job.
