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.

This is her new home. The garage is twice the size of my old one, but it seems that I have less room.

Looks real nice! Respect to all your work you've done to it!
 
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?
 
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
 
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.
 
got the snap on bug again. next will be a welder.

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.
