i've stopped counting on the labor. The parts bill alone is shocking and there still plenty more to spend.

Okay so i left work early today to beat the traffic and Head to the Chassis shop to work on the Firewall. Dave removed the entire firewall and had it almost perfectly flat and moved back an 1". It was my turn to build a mock up firewall. Dave had his doubts on my idea but i think he loved it when he saw it mocked up.

Since Im bored at work I just spaced out for a bit after re-reading this entire thread.

Marty you are a madman! :) I think it just dawned on me the insane amount of time, dedication, $ ect that is going into this beast. Very impressive.

Thanks Nate - i agree with your statements. But you forgot to mention that my wife and kids make this possible to do this. In the begining it drove her nuts but now she understands my disease i mean addiction, no i mean hobby.

Now this is something really cool.
In advance I want to thank Ken Debol who went out of his way to pick this block up for from the dealer and drop it off at Fed Ex so i would have to drive to Detroit to Pick it up.
Thanks again Ken.

Why the change from the Aluminum Block - maybe were going for just a little more HP.
