Shoemaker finally starts working on his own shoes!!!
I'm finally starting to catch up and finishing up some long overdue projects so I can start to work on my own car...

I figured I'll post some pics here to help motivate me to finish it sooner..
I usually work better under pressure anyway...

Enjoy...

Looking good!

That round bar with a plate, is that where you will mount the engine?

Ninja Edit...

Yes it is!

Like the engine mount.

That CAS looks familiar too. I built one like that a couple years ago. Couldn't get the magnets set in the wheel with enough accuracy to make it work with the E6K. If it would of had individual ignition trims like the newer boxes could of made it work.

I'm only using the CAS for my sync signal...

I'll be using a crank trigger for my reference signal.

I really like that motor mount! Also, suspension looks great. That's what ernie needs to do and everyone else.

What work were you doing to the front plate to make it discolored like that?

Is the input shaft of the tranny supported by some bearings? Looks really long. Looks like there is a spot for a bearing in the end of the extension housing.

You mean to tell me that's all you've done since I saw it last!
At least you get to work on your **** sometimes!
Looking good Enzo.

Hey Enzo, whats wrong with your intake? Was it cracked or something?

It must be a weak area, mine cracked in the same spot.
