Howdy! Hope the week has found y'all well... been busy for me. Mr. ROKTSHP too. We managed to find a few hours this morning to work on the car and made some good headway. In lieu of writing a book, I'll just highlight a few things since our last update...
Car into shop and put on jackstands.
Rear-end dropped to remove gas tank before cage install.
Installed LS1 K-member from '98 Camaro Z-28.
Installed engine into car. Screwdrivers in place of engine bolts until we can get the right length bolt (though I'm told those screwdrivers will contain all the horsepowers).
Bolted trans to engine to check clearances, waiting on Jegs to get the right crossmember to us. Sometime next week... Hellooooo scissor jack!
Disabled ability to lock the doors on the car.
Re-installed rear end to facilitate ability to roll (handy, that is).
Ordered parts to convert car to manual steering through Midwest Chassis.
Lots and lots of tinkering (setting intake on engine, hanging manifolds, etc to check clearances).
Set containment seat in car to get a feel for where it needs to be positioned. Will be mounted by cage builder.
We've unofficially dubbed the car Snowball... because race car and thats what it does. So outside of that, not much else for me to update at the moment. Gotta go get packed for the next week of being on the road. Until next time...
