    Well, I had my first stumbling block today. I took my wife for a ride and at 6.5#'s of boost I pulled a rocker stud clean out of a head. Shut it off and coasted to a side road and started calling for a tow.



    I had a little bit of time on my hands so I snapped a few pictures.

    I'm not going to let it get me down. Things have gone very smooth with the car up to date. Besides......

    It makes it all worthwhile when you take it down the road the first time. Looks like yours is getting close!

    I need to get those seat brackets I got from you and mount them to my seats. I borrowed my Gt seats because it was easier, lol.

    It is getting closer, I'm eager with anticipation. I have some more parts on order that will help push this along.

    What ever is easier at the time usually takes priority, can't wait to see it.

    Yep, Rob came out and hooked me up. Being a tool maker, he knows his stuff. I learned a lot too! Studs are in, rockers are on, just need to adjust them in the morning.

    Do you think that was just a fluke, or are you going to do anything with the other studs?

    Car looks awesome!
