I'm glad I sat back quietly about the roving thing.
I was crazy confused.
I thought I was out of the loop with the lingo you kids are using these days.
Can't have that.

The MIG welds are being gone over with a TIG for fusion purposes.

This setup will get driven plenty, no worries. The old setup just wasn't exactly what we were aiming for, so this one is taking everything we learned and applying it.

Made some progress on my car as well. Currently replacing all the cooling system parts with AN fittings, as well as a new radiator. Decided to redo all the front mounting for everything, so I hacked out all the old parts and built a new tube setup for the radiator, intercooler and hood pins.

Collectors aren't on yet, we wanted to let everything else move around first.

Anybody here interested in an Alkycontrol kit?
