Massive Progress!

This week (mostly today) we got a ton accomplished. Laurie and I picked a color. For real. Mopar Deep Water Pearl Blue Metallic. As seen on the new SRT-8 cars. Should be pretty slick. I am closing my eyes to all other colors now.
Southern Diesel Xtreme signed on as a sponsor and hooked me up with some 5x.14 injectors for the car. These equate to a 140hp injector. More than I need, but then... what else is new?
I worked with Source Tube and Hose to get the power steering lines custom made, so they are installed and ready to go. The Vacuum pump was rebuilt by Brett and Jeremy got the master/booster installed. He also made a trick mount for the proportioning valve.
Danny and I got the radiator mounts made and he cut one of the tanks off of the intercooler and flipped it so that we can make it all fit.
Jamie came by and helped wire wheel the inside of the fenders and the rear springs and then we primed and undercoated the insides and painted the springs.
I got all the front sheetmetal re-hung so that we can fit everything up.
We dropped the tank back out and we are adding a sump to it so that I can have a bigger pickup and some baffling.
I also got the trans cooler location marked out and now I need to make some mounts.
Bob was by earlier in the week and cut out the rust on the driver
s side and he has already made inner and outer patch panels for both sides. They just need their radius and we'll be good to go.
Decided to shave the handles, add poppers and shave the antenna also, just to smooth the car out.
YeeeHaah..Back to it!
