Naw I have a friend that is a Sheriff and i talked to him. Nothing big :)
As for progress there hasnt been all that much. Busy doing other things like work and goin out.. My sister is leaving back for California soon so I went to party it up with her a few times.
Time to get back on the horse though... still have finished the engine / motor mounts and still need to mount the body on the car. I do have the gas pedal and brake pedal / system complete. I mounted the parachute on in its final position, added some more tubing to the rear (Looks pretty sick now) and got all my aluminum mounts installed. The rear end has been paid for and it doesnt sound like too long until it gets here. Strange is backed up from what I hear though so it may still be a few weeks out.
I also have most of the front end tubing mocked up so thats pretty much done. Once I get the engine and trans mounted for real Ill finish up the front end with the radiator, trans cooler and fuel cell mounts.
I am pretty sure I will be powdercoating the entire chassis now also. Got a good deal on getting it done and they have an oven big enough to fit the entire thing so once I get the last few tidbits done Ill be getting it coated. There is alot of stuff to be done but it really isnt all that much now. I am guessing around a month it should be 'done'.. or at least done enough where it will have everything it needs minus perhaps a turbo setup and intake manifold. My extremely high paying job has trouble keeping up with my spending habits.
Hopefully by this weekend I will get a bunch of stuff done to show off. Drag Racing Action Magazine is doing a little story on it now also so I kinda wanna get it pretty much done before they start doing thier thing. Dont want a half done looking pos in a magazine :)
