            My shop is like my brain, a fuckin' mess, but here they are together.




            I sometimes wonder what you people look like. Whenever I see any of your pics, I'm usually surprised. So there's what I look like, don't be jealous.

              Anyway, I got the transmission on with the m10 clutch for now. I know it can't handle the ponies, but I'm just gonna do it the free way and then go back in and do it all the right way (and coincidentally the expensive way) later.

              Damn that's pretty. Probably going back in the car tomorrow.

                    Keep up the good work you handsome bastard!

                      First, thank you Andy. I am very handsome.

                      Alright! The motor is back in. The head is on and torqued. The shifter is where it's supposed to be!



                      I absolutely love my streetable poly motor and trans mounts from G-man the visionary. I don't know how they feel, but if my preference of color is any indication of how they'll perform, they're gonna be great! In other words, I love the color.







                      Ummm, what's next? …That pesky additional pedal…

                        pretty sure this was said a few times before you painted the arms. you should most definitely box your motor mount arms in dude.... but lookin good so far!

                                You know I would, though I'm also willing to wager that you'll publicize it before me.
