Thanks. The front crossmember should be done today and the paint in the engine bay should be done by this weekend. Finally making some real good progress.

Finished up the K member last night and painted it. Also finished painting the engine bay this morning. I can now start doing some assembly, plumbing and wiring in the engine bay.

I like that K member. Does it hang lower than stock though?

Yes it does. If you look at the pic I have with the yellow oil pan you can kinda see its almost even witht he bottom of the pan. The moroso H body pans still hangs below this crossmember though.

Keep going! looks killer!!!!

I guess it'll serve as protection for the pan though.

I'll stick the block in with each pan and get a pic of how low the crossmember sits to the pan.

I've got more pics of the K member with the block in with a stock pan and a moroso H body pan. The stock pan sits 1/2" above the bottom of the K member and the moroso 1/2" below. There is tons of clearence between the K member and the pan where the notch os to fit a stock K member.

Quick update. Front brakes, front suspension, rims and tires, front sheetmetal, spoilers, hood scoop are all done, engine is in and runnig also. I need to get the tranny back this week, get my 12 bolt from my parents house and get rear brakes and a driveshaft and the car will be on the road. I still need to take pics of most of it but here are some of the brakes and suspension.

Here the nose is the nose and front spoiler done. It's a rod n race spoiler and doesn't fit well in the middle where the 2 pieces meet, but it's close enough for me. Also, I mounted the battery in the spare tire well and used a battery kill switch with a handle the runs out the back of the rear valance to push off. This way, I can take the handle off when not racing and no one will know it was there.

Progress! Nice!

Forgot to mention all this was after putting the car in storage for 2 months so my soon to be ex wife couldn't touch it, moving twice and finally taking the car back out of storage to a 2 car garage. Much nicer than the tiny one car garage I started out in.
