It wasn't priced terrible on ebay.

How did I miss the insulation?
Post a link please. I hit my original with fiberglass resin to keep it together.
Looking good!

I gave up on that tattered junk after it kept resting on the exhaust. I removed it altogether and dynamat knock off’d the floor and up the inside of the firewall as high as I could go. Nothing on the A/C and she’s always blown nice and cold.

Crossover pipe input required....

I bought the holley manifolds and crossover pipe. Maybe less the 1k miles in and the flex coupling cracks and leaks (wastegate at 16psi). I had to weld in a solid pipe to get by. I bought a new crossover, should I just keep the modified pipe on the car or put the new one in and take the chance of another fail away from home? Both manifolds are cast, pipe connects the two.

Braided stainless steel should work fine

Been acquiring parts, been laid up with a reagrevated back injury.

But I got a call from jet hot today that my pipes are done and shipping out today.

Trans is still at the builder.

Has a setback with me wheels so I had to send all four back and had to find new ones, should see those Friday. Hopefully they fit.

I had 18x9 torq thrusts on it.

I wanted a bigger tire out back and they didn't make a 18x10 that fit so I upgraded to a 20x10.

I then later upgraded my front brakes to larger. And the 18" torq thrusts didn't clear the calipers. So I jumped to 20x8.5 to match the rears.

Well, I got the fronts in, one came one day and the second another. I test fitted the first one and was good. So I mounted them up and brought them home.

Three weeks later I went to put them on last weekend, and the other front wheel was 5x4.75 not 5x4.5. It was boxed wrong. They don't even offer that wheel in 5x4.75 anymore. And apperently they are discontinuing that wheel I had ordered the last two. So they couldn't find me a replacement. So I'm sending all four back and getting refunded.

Sounds like a nightmare. Glad to hear they are refunding.

I'm a service tech in a tire store, they are a vendor of ours. That definitely helps.

Mounted the bezel and buttons.
