A tiny bit more progress....

put on the oil pump, front cover, water pump, and AN-8 line for the oil crossover

Also if you look in the background of the pic you can see some more bodywork has started, but just to fill a few door dings so far.

I love it!

Well, here's body color...

I drove the car last night, kind of just toss it together to take it for a quick ride.
No headlights, fenders, hood, bumpers.

Just ran on stock boost, and did a couple acceleration and vacuum pulls to break in the engine. then did a full throttle run or two. Oh man, it's fun, and scary.







the car is going to look like pewp this year, aka super sleeper

I have beat a few 11 second cars already this year Undefeated
