      Kevin, got them from Nasty Performance. I sent you a PM

      Chris, as awsome as it would be, I doubt it. I think I'll be able drive it by then but won't have interior or the bugs worked out at that time. Funds are holding me up now. But I won't rule it out!

      I know how it is with the funds. Now that I have more funds for the project, it seems like I don't have time to get the parts on...

      Got the exhuast put up under it Friday night. Had a Pypes 3" X pipe already and bought a couple Pypes Race Pro mufflers to tag on the end of em. Just need downturns and hanger but was at least able to fire it up and hear it. They don't seem to be overly loud at idle, and that's what I wanted. But does have a lot of bass to it. Will be intersted to hear if they mellow out when cruising down the road. They say these get good and loud when you punch it.

      Well here's a video of it running from today... however the microphone on the camera sucks so is a far cry from what it really sounds like.

      Thanks Marty! Just too bad the camera does such a poor job at picking up sound.

      Now I just need to figure out why my fans won't kick on. I have my fan switch located just before on the entry point of the radiator. It is properly grounded and works when I "jump" the switch with a ground. I ran the car at idle up to 230 degrees but fans never kicked on. The switch is a 210 185. Would there be that much temp difference from the engine head to the radiator?

      The switch does work, I pulled it out tonight and held a torch to it and the fans did kick on.

      EDIT/UPDATE: I did an experiment tonight, plugged the steam vent line and stuck a turkey temp gauge in that location and let the car heat back up. It was always around 20 degrees behind the motor temp. It read 180 when motor read 200.... and read 215 when motor read 235. I shut it down after that. Switch didn't kick on so either didn't have enough time to heat soak to kick on or is a faulty switch. None the less I decided tonight I'm just going to get a cooler switch to compensate accordingly.

      Some more updated photos. Spent the weekend installing the door and quarter windows. They deffinatly took a little time but seemed to go in and was able to get them adjusted up fairly decently. Swapped out the rear shocks and get the back end down a little more, still sets a little high but want to see how much the shocks will settle. I have a little more adjustment down also. Now just need to finish hanging the exhaust, get it tuned, aligned and a license plate and will be able to drive er on the road! Interior will come later.

      Good day today, took the car to the chassis dyno. It has only idled up to this point as it was too lean to get above idle much. So a tune and 5 pulls later the fresh 6.0 put out a comfortable 430 rwhp and 396 ft/lbs. HP peaked at 6100 with peak torque at 4600 and 300 ft\lb starting at 2800.

      To top that it made it's maiden voyage this evening around the block.
