CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Les...  And thanks for following guys, this has taken a turn, but i think it will work, i enlarged the Chevy heads, they need some refinement yet, upgraded the sump, and now i need to make some Hemi Rocker covers for it.   |

Yes! I knew you could do it Thanks mate, it did involve a lot of head scratching, and beer, now for the intake and exhaust for the turbo's...  |

Don’t sweat it Dale. You’ll do just fine on the fab stuff in regards to the exhaust and turbos. This is gonna be one sweet ride is all I gotta say.

Leon, Deano.. thanks guys.. Tonight i went to work on the rear end, thinking i might be able to just move the chassis rails in a few MM, ( thou ). Well, how wrong was i, here is what is left... or isn't left. looks like a complete fabricated rear end from here. Good thing i'm on holidays..   |

Needed something to fill in all those days off mate! Another couple of EXTRA weeks would be handy mate, this thing is BIG ! Today's exercise was to make a rear chassis clip. And started in some of the infill panels also reversed the fuel tank, started smoothing it, to turn it into a huge alloy drop tank.    |

Dennis, Leon and Mark.. thanks guys Today, i got a bit more done, sheeted up the inner skin of the wheel arch. Not sure which way to run the fuel tank though. ?  Go with the original configuration ?  OR, go in reverse, so give it that big fat tank look from the rear ?  |

Tough call on the fuel tank, the big side showing would look cool but the tapered side out makes it look more like a driver icon_hmm_zps07rcoppf Be too cool not to drive! |
