Ordered a filter mount with a built in primer pump

That's a lot of tedious work right there!

I have never been a winged car fan. I know I'm Crazy! But DANG!!! (Joe Dirt), I know I'm gonna LOVE this bird when it's done.

I finished welding up the transmission crossmember.

And welded it into the car. Then I hacked out the rest of the torsion bar crossmember. There are still a lot of bars to go in this thing.

Incredible fab work!

Looking good! BTW did you use all the GV boxes or just a on/off switch? I'm leaning towards on/off.

I ran this trans with the GV OD in my other car and just used the on/off switch. I placed it under the clutch pedal so you just had to tap it for OD. I also ran an indicator light and a lockout switch so I wouldn't hit OD while racing.

That's exactly what I was going to do (except for the clutch pedal part). I think I'm also going to put a micro switch on the secondary linkage of the 6bbl to shut off the AC compressor. Thanks.

I have one of those, too. It activates the nitrous.

I agree, never liked the Daytona's or Superbirds but this one has me intrigued. The Avatar looks badass, I think the high stance and dinky tires is what kills the originals which is how everyone builds them?? Thinking I'm going to love this one, great job!

This one will be slammed Drag Radial style. The wheelwells will be filled front and rear. Hopefully it turns out how I envision it! Glad you like it.

It will be a tube frame inside stock sheet metal which is what the SFI 25.3 spec was written for. I'm sure you'll get to ride shotgun at some point!

Bent up the upper "halo" so that it tucks in tight. There's still enough room for the headliner but it should be tight enough to run the factory rear view mirror and sun visors if I so choose.

Here's the front view. Nothing I hate worse than a cage hanging in your face....
