It definitely feels like cheating 
Axles, and suspension bits are all installed. Tunnel plate + x-pipe is in as well. Need to get some new lock washers for the header flanges. Tomorrow I will install the rear brakes, new oil pan gasket (lower), and maybe get the mufflers on. Some day this week I may take off to finish and drive the hell out of her

Light day today, was going to start her up but ran into a small issue. I've been fighting a small oil leak from the lower pan. Previously I thought the pan was sweating oil (I know, I know) but dismissed it because thats silly. A new oil pan gasket was purchased and I pulled the pan off. Then I found a nice crack from where I thought it was sweating, its not visible from the bottom. Going to try to get it welded tomorrow, but I can check one more leak off the list
Other than that I adjusted the e-brake and installed rear rotors/calipers.

Fixed oil pan was installed with a new gasket and fresh Amsoil Zrod. Brake lines were connected, along with wire routing in the rear subframe. Front plate mesh is in, I'll grab a picture when the car get in the sun. Shifter installed and aligned. Started the car for the first time in months I'll be bleeding the brakes, fixing meth leak, and a few other small things to get her back on the road tonight

My friend came over last night to show me the finer details of performing a leak down and coolant pressure test. Motor is in good shape according to those tests, looks like the routing of the can was the major issue. I have it routed correctly (and I had it routed correctly before it was changed) now so we should be good

Where are you guys mounting your GoPro's? I'd like to get an angle that shows speedo and the road a little bit. Maybe suction cup it to the roof and hang it that way?

I have a few mounts, suction cup for the outside, or I just mount it on my cage.
I'll play around and see what I come up with
