Was hoping to get something done this week, just too busy at work. I did manage to get the crack in the header welded up and blast them, I'll shoot some ceramic on them this weekend. They're real beat and a cheap set so just going to do a quick fix.

We at least put some cap studs in it, figure they have to be better than the original bolts. cleaned it all up and good to go.

Re-fit some carpet, finished a few wiring tidbits, adjusted the clutch airgap, mounted the seat, made a tach bracket to relocate and mounted that, fired up and all systems working. Tomorrow going to drain and measure how much oil is in it, change it and the filter, get some fuel, re-install the e-brake assy. and make a seat brace. Rented the track Tues. so she can start doing burnouts and practice staging.

Nice job making that one your own! Looks like Bill Beldens old car. That should be a fun combo and not a huge parts eater. Send the clutch back to advanced for a freshen up and you will be good to go. Those single disc set ups are very forgiving.

I love watching the progress on your car Todd.
Good Luck when you get it on the track.
