any decision made about the flares vs tub?

i just ordered the flares because i love how it looks.

i also already have the c6z splash guards so it will prevent the sandblasting effect.

The offset of the wheels allows me to run them without having to tub them and im going to see how far they stick out before deciding on the flares.

I got the bar from pfadtracing.com

9 hours of wrenching

Car is 90% completed

Only things left are fuel and igniton hook up, mount the intake manifold and hook up the exhaust and hook up vacuum pump





Ram dual disc



1" valve cover spacers required modification to other parts like taking a piece of the alternator case off but nothing to bad



Oh thats where thats stuff goes





Say hi to Tim







WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS







OR HOW ABOUT THIS 100MMs of goodness



This thing is gonna breathe deep



Say hi to Mike



Had to take a piece out of the cowl and piece out of the hood for the manifold to fit





Should be finished up tommorrow and gets dynoed this week

Stay tuned...

Damn that intake looks radical.

Have got the roll cage in yet. I am interested in how they fit up. I bought some Corbeau LG1 Seats and need to see the fitment of these and the seats.

Seats should be here in about six weeks (custom order) in two tone leather.
