Photo dump this is the current state had an issue with the holly mid drive power steering pump not having thread in the mounting holes. And just ordered a quick performance 9inch rear end housing and axles.

[tsmitty999]

I finally got the power steering pump from summit. the first one the mount hole were machine to big and missing threads. Mid drive is all done . Got my fuel line ran under the car and got the Holley fuel rails all connected. Steam ports are done. Got my quick performance 9inch housing and axle. Got it primed and painted. Just ordered a speed master third member with 3.70 gears for Black Friday.

Here a update it’s years since I’ve post on here but I’m basically done with the car. Just have a few little things and need to get my Holley terminator tuned. I had problems with the summit racing 4l60e with leaking and slipping. I ended up getting a 4l65e from gear star and haven’t had issues yet.

Dude, awesome build!!



I see you're in Burbank. Not too far from me. I'm headed over to Bob's Big Boy tomorrow... you should bring it by. Would love to see it in person.

Also would like to get more info on who did your rear seats and the custom console.

thank you. yes I'm in Burbank, I'll try and make it. I keep having issue with air getting trapped in the coolant, and it starts to overheating. So the backseat and console is made by TMI products. the back seat was just upholstery and i installed it on the original back seat frame.
