Looking at 19 by 11 CCWs. Got one with a 305 tire for a test fit. Pretty noticeable difference over the 295's

Pulling the 9 inch for some upgrades. Also pulling the T-56 to freshen it up. We are building a TH400 for Drag Racing and will probably build a 4L80E for a more permanent solution.

Had a good night. Cut on the under bracing for the hood. Should be ready to cut the top for fitment tomorrow.









I dinged it up a little but was basically pleased with the work.

Measuring and masking it off, had removed some of the sub bracing Friday.



Initial cuts are well inside what we expected the ultimate dimensions were. Kept the cuts small and closed the hood frequently to judge measurements.





Undecided about covering or leaving out in the open until we saw what we had to work with when we got it to close. I will be looking to see what it would take to cover the blower and intake.

Next major hurdle was the intake and Throttlebody. Inexperienced worker was a barrier, a few unnecessary dings and scratches





And here is the hood closed, next stop body shop

Got a pretty good start on the roll bar install. Hopefully by the end of the weekend we can have it completely bolted in.

Missed my goal of finishing the Rollbar setup today. Got everything int he car, the carpet cut, everything centered. Need to start bolting it down now. Just ran out of daylight.

Got the Roll Bar bolted in except the the fenderwell plates. I will need the welder to help me do that. Everything is squared up and in place. The good news is that the front and middle legs tie to the subframe connectors.

Worked inside the car today, fastening down the battery cable with clamps. One of those tiring assed jobs you got to do.
