Ordered some stainless bolts and speed clips from McMaster-Carr tonight. We will be mounting the floor pans Saturday, and I will be able to mount the nose back on it when the firewall is in. :lol:

Put up some new pictures on Moparts today. Patrick has the firewall almost done. A little seam sealer and paint and then it goes in for the headers to get built. After that it comes home for wiring, plumbing, and a drivetrain. :D

If you move to Vegas, you'll probably have the fastest Slant in the West!

Jeff Long was over this morning to pick up his Dart and the Cordoba I traded to him. The Doby is going to be his son's first race car. :D

Jeff also took the header flanges with so that when Patrick buttons his end up it can go to Jeff.

I also added some pictures of the car with the nose back on in the Moparts thread I posted at the front of this thread. :D

It's finally out of Patrick's shop. Went down yesterday and took it to Jeff Long's shop in Paxton for the headers.

Jeff has a set to build for a Cummins diesel in a pulling tractor then he will do mine.

Only downside is that he can't get 1-5/8" tube anymore, so mine will be 1-3/4". Primaries will be at least 30" long, 3X2 style. Oh well, guess I'll just have to boost it. :lol:

Headers are done, car is sitting in my shop once again. I brought these home to do the final "massaging" to get them to line up with the head/manifold before they go in for coating. Thanks Jeff! :D

Yes, 1-5/8" is just right for the majority of Slants on the planet. :D
