Well I started working my newest project and here is where I am.
removeing floor and fire wall, everything except the tubs at this point.
replaceing peddals,seat,steering mounts,wing and who knows what else at this point.
I have add new shock brackets on the rear and painted the rear.
I also built a wishbone to center the rear end.
I am in the process of building motor plates.
I also need to add some bars to bring it up to date  to be legal in NHRA.
I will need to build headers .I will also be installing a radiator and fuel cell up front .
Thinking about making it a dry sump so I may need to install a oil tank up front also.
I have everything for the car minus a driveline , headers , and the sheet metal for the floors .
and of course what ever pops up that I didn't think of.Confused

Well I milled .260 off the back of the timing cover for the front motor plate
I also had to chuck the convertor in the lathe and cut down the mounting lugs to fit in the reactor flex plate.

The fitting is just a port for reading crank case vacuum.
The Car has run 8.teens when Barry Allen owned it with a 4speed and a clutch.
I am hopeing for somewhere in the low to mid 8's with this setup. maybe quicker if I get it all figured out.

Just got the new brake pedal assembly.
Pretty cool it has built in brake bias adjustment so I don't need a proportioning valve
