Most of car is finished...will post pics of entire setup when it's road tested truly finished.

Take it with a grain of salt. But the welds could be a little better.

Lol the welder(of the aluminum) told me this. They don't have a liquid cooled machine, as it got hot the quality degraded. Most are fine (looking) though.

As for the MIG welds, yeah, they aren't pretty, but they have good penetration. I wish I had a TIG, but I don't have any money for that right now.

Should hopefully have a drivable car this week. Only issue now is that racerwholesale sent me the wrong fittings for the oil cooler. Threads don't match up :/ waiting to hear back on a replacement.

One of the first starts. Base tune nothing special just enough to get it running.

Thanks. It sounds like a lumpy v8 in person. But that was open downpipe sorta. I put another Video on Facebook if you check it out.
