    some exciting stuff is happening! For the first time in a long time the car is back on the ground! Borrowed @goonie90gsx wheels to roll around on so this thing can get loaded up into the trailer for a field trip up to BS Fab for a manifold! In doing so I had to finish making my steering column...

    This is by far the most tedious part, mounting headlights straight and making body lines match - but it's done! So far I have both headlights fully mounted, the intercooler has its upper mount I just need to weld some tabs on the bottom of it to bolt to the lower cross tube. Up next is radiator...
