So I bought some brake cleaner tonight I am gonna start cleaning everything off and getting parts laid out on the table so I can see what Ihave, what I astill need and what I will not need...

I know I am gonnareplace the needle bearings and the spacers so I will prolly buy those this weekend...

The templates should be here tomorrow or Friday.. I need to buy a scribe and some dychem so I can coat the marking surface..

Sand those babies up and get em smooth, and I think they will look reeeeaaaal good!

RX7Tuner.

I think the intermediate iron looks phenomenal

SpooledupRacing

You would.... I did the front and rear irons and RX7tuner did the intermediate iron... (I did not think he was good enough to handle the bigger ports)

Brian thank you very much for all your help today.. I am going to port the housings tomorrow and get to sanding so Hopefully Friday we can start assembly...

THX again... keep the comments coming..
