Working on it, man!  There is going to be alot of technical info on this site. I have to finish to tech. drawings, double check my information and math.  Id hate to give bad info and somebody f-ing up their car or worse, themselves.

Update:
 (Just when you thought this thread was dead.  :D )

 Working on the front end and interior.. Got new upper and lower control arms, spindles (Thanks for the right side  Mike!), ball joints, dash panel, oil pressure and temp gauges, water temp gauge, and fuel pressure gauge. Brake system is coming along. Have pedal assembly, several master cylinders, proportioning valve (ratchet style), brake bias gauges, and most of the braided lines for the brake system. Also got all my parts for the full containment seat (The shoulder supports are awesome Dave! Thanks!!!). Thunder also supplied me with a steering wheel, quick disconnect and upper steering shaft. I have been really busy this past year collecting parts, info and pics.  Many THANKS to Al and Shaun also!!!, for all the pics and input!
 I think I finally found someone to do the welding. He's a racer, so understands my project. Might be able to trade my spare chassis to him for part of the work. I am hopeful that we can get this thing rolling this spring and summer. Still a lot to do!!!
 Still need to get rotors and hats, wilwood dyna lite calipers, caliper mounts for the fronts, and a brake bias adjuster for the dual master cylinders. That should just about finish parts for the braking system.
 Kyle gave me a great deal on a steering rack! But FedEx managed to lose it, due to a delivery error. THANKS Kyle! Kyle is a Great Guy!  He tried to do what he could from his end. I feel bad about not getting the part. I guess I learned a valuable lesson about shipping.
 My spare bedroom is packed floor to ceiling with boxes of parts. I also have to THANK Geoff, Scott G., Mike R., and EVERYONE at LegendsRacer for all their help, advice, and encouragement!!!
I'll get some pics posted when I can.

So it was 50 there...  So where are the pics Steve?!

Slacking boy, slacking!

Like I can talk.  I haven't done a thing on my car in a week.  Going to have to work like a demon next week.

I'm just hoping that he puts a big sprint car wing on it.  :)

Great picture.

Not my style though.  I live in Ontario, not Quebec...

Still plugging away;

Bought some steering shafts and joints, fittings for my fuel system, and a Sunpro Dragon tach (not the one I wanted, but also came with some gauges that I did want).

Wheather is warming up; so hopefully, I can get my guy busy on the welding.

Mini Trike project is also coming along. Need someone to bend up a couple of rear hoops for me. Don't seem to be getting much response from the folks on the chopper site. Guess it's not a big enough project for them.  :(
SORRY! Just venting a little frustration.  :-[

I'm still working 10 - 12 hour days; and am also looking to move. That has put projects on the backburner for just a little bit. Hoping to get back on it soon!

Keepin' The Faith!
