Ok, here goes....after getting ripped off by a local shop I have decided to build my own car, and thus far it has been a success. What I don't know I Google, and I have paid close attention to detail, and tried to build a dsm, not only I could be proud of but we all could. Some thing you may like others you may not, but one way or another feel free to comment good or bad I welcome it.

ok that was as close as I could come to the beggining.

	Soooooo my carbon fiber hood was kinda messed up. It was ok on the old car. But with everything so pristine it stood out. I thought about buying another, but I can spend that money on other things. Tell me what y'all think.

	GRACEY is home finally. I am moving to my new house on the 15th so I think I will let her sit until we get to the new garage
	Posted 06-19-2012 at 06:22 PM by godschylde777

	I wrapped it because it will be a while before I put it on. #I wouldn't want it to get damaged during the move. Kinda wanted to show the pearl. Always the attention to detail. The little joys of accomplishment#

	2gb eclipse lights useing a 2gb talon lens. It is a pain to do, but I think it will be a nice touch.
	Posted 06-21-2012 at 09:55 PM by godschylde777

	Got stainless studs for exhaust manifold. Received injectors from fic. They were tested and cleaned.
	Posted 06-28-2012 at 03:46 PM by godschylde777

	Got my lights back, and I must say I am soooo excited to see what 2gb eclipse light will look like on a 2gb talon. I took the time to swap the lenses so I won't have that gap between the bumper and the lens.
	Posted 06-29-2012 at 06:02 PM by godschylde777

	Got sway bars put in. So despite my orders to my painter to keep GRACEY clean he did not, lol, so pardon her dust.

	Posted 07-04-2012 at 12:09 PM by godschylde777

	Oh corners are there, when my friend swaped the lens, he forgot to give me one of the corner plugs so I just left one unplugs so it wouldn't look crazy.
	Posted 07-04-2012 at 12:12 PM by godschylde777

	Still here been getting ready for my baby. I got the lights put on. If anyone has a talon tail light harness I could use them. This is her new home. The garage is twice the size of my old one, but it seems that I have less room.
	Posted 08-03-2012 at 09:31 PM by godschylde777

	Picked up a 3G master cylinder. I followed the advice of others in regards to the brembo brake setup I will be useing. She so lonely. I need to put a Cadillac ctsV beside her.
	Posted 08-15-2012 at 09:42 AM by godschylde777

	Well got the motor back from the machine shop that line bored the block for the jay main caps. So now it is with the other machine shop for the final workings and build. Man sooooo close.
	Posted 08-16-2012 at 04:38 PM by godschylde777

	Looks real nice! Respect to all your work you've done to it!

	Thanks
	Posted 08-24-2012 at 08:42 AM by godschylde777

	My new project....
	Posted 08-28-2012 at 07:18 AM by godschylde777

	Went back out to the garage yesterday to get the front brembos installed. That lasted for about an hour. My wife shows up at the door with the baby and says, "TAG, YOU IT". I could swear the little fella was smirking at me. I see I'll just have to chip away at it. Did I mention there was a poopy diaper involved?
	Posted 09-05-2012 at 05:55 AM by godschylde777

	I just have to say that this is absolutley amazing. I have built 5 cars and I'm pretty sure I would never try to tackle half of the stuff you did. Very impressive for a first time builder. Keep up the great work
	Posted 09-06-2012 at 07:05 PM by Dstratt01

	Thanks. It's been a journey.
	Posted 09-06-2012 at 08:08 PM by godschylde777

	Today I went to the machine shop to drop off the wrist pins, and I saw my motor and parts laying nicely on the building table. Kinda reminded Me of an operating room. I was so pleased that that kind off care was being taken.
	Posted 09-06-2012 at 08:08 PM by godschylde777

	Posted 09-07-2012 at 09:57 PM by godschylde777

	Just realized the bleeders need to face up.
	Posted 09-11-2012 at 10:01 PM by godschylde777

Well fellas and ladies, it is time. It has been a looooooong wait. It seems the hour of chaos is upon the slow, the feeble and the HP challenged. I baught this motor with the exspections of going 9s.....uncompremised. Well it has come to my understanding that I can go what ever the heck I want. This is What you call overcoming. Now Mike, let it rain hard upon those that said it could not be done. Now without further delay..........behold the beastly heart of Gracey.

	Posted 09-19-2012 at 01:06 PM by godschylde777

	Freakin Goblin. The nerves of him making such a scrumptious part for my handling goodness. Spidermans gonna have his @$$ for this. Lol, thanks Greengoblin. Very happy with braces. This will be my weekend project if there are no hunny-dos.
	Posted 09-19-2012 at 03:32 PM by godschylde777
