Well got a new battery, today, mechanically the car is in really good shape, i just need to get a tune dialed in so i can drive it. I plan to have it all together by the end of march, because cold still. But after that i think im 99 percent confident she can roll out of the garage to do a shake down, and break in the clutch, and engine. Feeling good.

Ok more work today, in the bay, got a lot done gonna get radiator setup tommorow, then install it, and look at my tune and see what esle it needs, but im right there after so long.

Been fighting a lower radiator hose issue, and my erl dump tube location, so off to Detroit ot pick this up from one of my very close friends on here rafal. Truly a great guy to have as a friend and set me up for success with the lasts big part to get the dsm on the road. Honna power coat the housings later, now use rubber hoses until i get some black hoses. Then make some bracket s to hold her in place this is a csf radiator for drag and street, i muse stay its really nice and has a spal fan. Its got a great core in a compact size i was using a afco set up but the damn hoses was hitting my shifter bracket, a no go for me. The goal now or soon break it in, then make her look the best i can with all new paint bay and body, and go from there, so small stuff left. Whew stay tuned for more. Hoses came too with 16 an fittings . Thanks man.
