I've got a feeling that Rupert is going to surprise a few people.

Fired up my 101 year old lathe and whittled out a turbo drain for the oil pan.

Sweet.
Cool R & P steering conversion. What is it out of?
Can't wait to see what it will do.

Mustang 2 manual rack, I'm going to have to add another u-joint and support to get around the headers, but it's all going to work. I'm hoping this thing will bring the thunder. I think everything is going to fit under a stock hood this time too. I feel like a retard with a new ninja turtle.

I believe it'll all fit under a stock hood. Now I just need to find a stock hood, lol.

Notched the crossmember in a couple of places for steering shaft and fuel pump clearance. GF is pissed, I left at 3am and worked on the car until 9pm. She'll get over it or she won't, lol.

eBay Santa came again today, all the bends should be here tomorrow for the charge pipe and exhaust. I know what I'm doing this weekend. 🙂

Got the valve covers and breathers on, built the outlets for the compressor and exhaust. I've been in parts delivery purgatory due to ice and snow, but ups and fe ex should run Monday, and it'll be like Christmas morning for me.
