Awesome mate..... cannot wait to see it in the flesh.
That stuff you have wrapped the exhaust with - any left over? Could it be adapted to wrap the throttle cable?

Next meet..... July?........maybe September? :D

That's mad Silas. Attention to every area, steering rack, brakes, camber plates, plumbing, colour coded bits, etc, etc. This will be one awesome machine.
What's it's intended use when complete?

So I would it be bad if I was lazy and didnt put my thermostat on too? I have never thought about that. I know track cars don't need them because they are running max all the time. But what about street?

Im only able to run without a thermostat because i have a Davies Craig electric water pump and controller! that increases flow as the engine needs it :D
