I use Firefox at home, when I am on an actual computer.

I just placed an order from summit racing. New Nitto 555 extremes for the front, and a new 9" position unit with a bearing kit and ring gear bolts.

Ordered a few little things front Kirbans, and a Alky pump cover and check valve from DevilsOwn.

I got a call from the powder coated on Friday, claims he wasn't happy with the wheel finish of the rims. Said he is blasting them re powder coating them. We'll see how they turn out soon I guess.

Looking forward to seeing those tires on the finished powder coated wheels Jim!

Update time.

I got the steel bumper mounts installed. They are much firmer, perfect. I had to used washers at the bumper to fine tune it, I can't find my oem aluminum shims.

Ialso mounted the alky pump. I need to run the line and see why my prime button is not working, I think I forgot to turn the function on in the tune.

My wheels got back from powder coating today, I'll be mounting the rear tires tomorrow, and the fronts on Thursday after my summit shipments show up.

Thanks Scott. I'm excited to get them mounted and balanced. I really want to make the Denis Kirbans open house on the 21st (?). Alot needs to happen in a few evenings before that happens though. I still haven't test drove it with the bigger turbo and transmission repairs.

I picked up a little turbo6 medallion for the horn button. Since it's not a t-type.

Nice touch!!

 

[liquidh8]

Thank you. Small detail, but nicer than the T-Type medallion. It was all faded, and car is not a T-Type.

I mounted and balanced the rear tires today. The fronts should be on my porch when I get home. I'll mount those tomorrow. I got the center caps off eBay, and bought black wheel weights.

I am also working on a mount for the methanol tank. This tank won't be the permanent one, but I'll run it this season.
