I had to cut out some of the frame. It wasn't totally safe but I'm goinng to weld in plenty of supports. Piping should be in tomorrow and I'll hopefully get it set and ready to go by this weekend. Plus I broke down and just bouught a new water pump.

looks like an oil cooler.



looks good behind the bumper. Make sure you fully fix up the area where you cut out parts of the frame, or it will rust bigtime.

The whole grill is coming off before I put it together. I have a route for the tubing. I may have to go with a smaller battery or put it in the back of the car. I'll get pics for that when it's done. Last tiome I did an FMIC I had to move the ignition coil over an inch to get it to fit. This time I'm using a similar route. There are some modifications, however. You'll see when I get the pics.



I will definitely put some paint over the welded metal. That's all gonna be done tomorrow after I weld in the reinforcements.





I'm already getting ancy to drive my car!!!
