Thanks for all the kind words guys. I have been driving the wheels off of it. I had it at three shows this past weekend. Two with over 400 cars and one with right at 300 and took home two throphy's. Driving this thing around has really made all the hard work pay off.

I have two issues Im sorting out though. You can see one of them in the 7th picture down. The heater hose coming out of the top of the water pump will not stop leaking. I have tried several sealants with no luck. Right now it has teflon tape and teflon paste on it. That sealed better then anything else, but I noticed it leaking again yesterday. :roll: The other one would be traction. Took it to a friend of mines street rod shop and we made some traction bars and they cured about 85% of my problems. Im still messing with the pre-load on the bars and I think it will get better then that. This is my first experience with this style of traction bar, so it is taking longer then it should for me to get it just right. Without the bars it was dangerous....Fun, but dangerous.

Eric,

Since you called the disconnect out as my problem which one would you replace it with? Im leaning towards the Moroso 74102.
