Uh, so I guess we're the only ones still working on the car? Still no brakes (did install the master cyl last night but need to run the lines to the rear of the car), engine has only run for 20 min so far, tranny untested. no clutch hydraulics yet, no lap belt locations yet, no place to mount the shocks... We're doing what we can, though.

Those AN fittings look AWEFULLY EXPENSIVE.

:^)

Go to Ebay and look up Muscle motorsports. They sell all the NASCAR take offs. A rad hose with AN fittings is ten bucks way cheaper than the factory hose could ever be.

The solution?  Cut off the back of the parts car, of course!

Lemons is about nothing if not the prolific use of sawzalls.

If anyone needs any welding we will be up there with a full shop basically in the trailer just look for the trailer that says "All German Auto" on it.

We are heading out in a few hours. Everyone have a safe drive and see you guys there! DeJa Vu tonight!

Good luck guys, have a great weekend, be safe!  Would love to be racing with you - but the 40 hour drive hinders that.
