that wheel setup looks yummy

Yeah they look great.

I ended up shaving the rear arms so they weren't as close to the tire. No spacers with this setup which is awesome.

final weight of wheel slick combo ?

I'll weigh them tonight. The wheel with a 26x9.5 QTP was 29lbs. These are heavier.

I'll be in Detroit next week hope we can meet up for a minute.

Any reason you went M&Hs over QTPs?
I'm clueless about DR/Slicks so I'm just curious.

The M&H's fit better on the car. They are round at the edges where the QTP's are squared.

You can also get the M&H's a good bit cheaper than the QTP's. Both tires work and I've used QTP's on my past Evo... just figured i would try something different.

So awesome to see a once local car getting this type of build!

I'm glad he sold it to me! It was the perfect car for what I had planned.

Block progress.

I've also been working on teaching my self to TIG weld with my AHP 200x. I probably have 2 hours of torch time now. Attempted to fab some pipes for a local Evo and they came out pretty decent. Good practice for when I go to do mine.

I might actually be trying that, because it turns out the bumper doesn't fit now haha! Suppose I should have checked that before hand

Modified the driver engine mount

Engine will be there late this week. I plan to get it in the car or ready to drop in by the weekend.

Catch can mounted up

Mounted the gauges and got the wiring finish for them.

 

[91stocker]

Theres no better way to install gauges in a 1g, looks good man.

Yeah, I totally agree. I had plans to put them elsewhere, but this really was the best place. Thanks man!

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Interior back together. Just need to throw in a radio and do some wiring... and a plate for some switches in the radio bezel.

 

[turbotalon1g]

Nice work!
I have my gauges there too, but I moved my HVAC down in the radio spot for now.

Thanks!

That is pretty cool. A local DSM guy did that also. I removed my HVAC so that wasn't a concern for me

 

[b00stedtalon2]

Cleaned up all the engine parts as the car will have an engine this week...

I found a lot of junk in the valve cover baffle so I decided to remove it and clean it out. I ended up tapping the cover so the baffle is removable. It'll be secured with button head allen bolts with lock washers and red loctite.
