    Drag Race Build 2g awd swap forward facing 6466

    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...

    The intercooler will be mounted on the bottom with 1" chromoly tube, that's the main intercooler support. The top intercooler mount is basically there to strengthen up the rest of the steel rod

    Thank you! It's something I've always wanted to do as well. Unbolt a few things and the whole front comes off for ease of maintenance because we all know stuffs going to break LOL

    Drag Race Build 2g awd swap forward facing 6466

    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...

    I FINALLY worked on the car this weekend LOL managed to get a lot done. The floor bars are officially welded into the car and I got 90% of the 25.5 tacked back in. The last few pieces I need to make are a new windshield bar, roof bar and 4 gusset bars. This needs to be 100% tacked in by...

    New Shop Build

    Concrete got pushed to this week thanks to lovely Ohio weather last week LOL. Meantime we were able to get the 60 feet of 6" perforated pipe in the ground just because the grade of my yard/driveway sucks so this will catch all of it when it heads down toward to barn. Weather dependent we will...

    How far off the wall is the lift post? I am trying to figure out exactly where to put mine since I will be having a section of thicker concrete. I don't want it too close to the wall but it cant be too far off either.Like you said you can never have too much lighting lol. It will definitely...

    As @KCDsmDude said, that is an 8x8 door in the rear that goes out to my trails for the quads. The piece of siding laying on the ground was just an extra piece that was left over.

    That's on the to do list still lol. The left side brush and small trees will be cleared out before it gets hereMarty that looks awesome! A 2 post lift is the first thing I'm buying once concrete is done. After working out of 1 car and 2 car garages for the last 15 years this is going to be...

    Good morning! This is my progress so far on my new 30x40 shop build. It might not look like much but clearing out the wooded area was a major PITA. You can see from the aerial view how much needed cleared. So far we've excavated down about 18" filled it back in and graveled on top. The...

    Operation catch can! $50 2.5 gallon eBay fuel cell, cut the top off, add some baffles, new top, inlet and vent an voila! This will vent right out of the center of the hatch in front of the wing. Plus being this was supposed to be a fuel cell, its sumped, so draining the catch can will be pretty...

    That was terrifying but its in! I have some quick release buttons on order for the mounts on the dash, one on each side for easy dash removal. Brandon is coming over tonight he's bringing my chute mount back so we can finish up the last few bars on the cage. Once its done sadly it all has to...

    The Gago wiring harness is awesome. I would say it is very comparable to Ohm and much cheaper.
