    Randy, can probably get you one cut, I'll pm you prices on the midplate, as well as shipping whats left over of the cross-over! Been really busy at work, haven't had a whole bunch of time lately to be online(for my stuff anyway) :doh:

    No......not yet! With any luck, maybe late summer. The car is back at my fabricator, he is working on the brakes, suspension and rearend now. The engine is at the machine shop, I ended up locking the cams up on the left bank and destroyed my cylinder heads. Got luck and only bent 2 valves but the cams and cylinder head castings were junk. I ended up getting another set of 03 head from a fellow Mach1 guy(thanks Roy!) and sent them off to my friends Ron and Corey at Fox Lake Power Products. The guys went ahead and did a full cnc port on the heads and reused my existing valves, springs etc from the 1st build up. Here are some pics of what is going on with the car now.......

    Here are some pics of my shocks that Afco built for the car.They are double adjustable with Afco's Big Gun Valving which is aimed for high horsepower,small tire cars. Also, I went with Chris Alston Chassis Works adjustable lower shock mounts for more adjustment.
