looks like we're in the home straight now, Engine is all done, seats are done, shifter has been relocated, axle is all back together. Need to sort out the seat belts, relocate the shocks (hit the backbrace), open up the back wheel nuts for the 3" studs and a few other odds and sods. looking forward to seeing this one out, it will look quite a bit different to how it was, and will be a tad quicker too.

Looking great Blue/Jem , look forward to seeing it out.
Alan had the same problem regards the Bananarama! the brace , he had to move the bottom of shock back with spacers , would think there's even less clearance with the springs relocated.

The Hauser prepped heads will be going on later in the year Pete. Should be very interesting to see what extra I get out of them compared to the iron heads that Blue ported.
Passenger seat is adjustable Pete but easily removable to get Blues slicks in

Great work as usual Blue/Jem
Wouldn't it be easier to notch the bracing to make room for the shocks?

Good stuff, inspiring people to get on with their stuff is what this section is all about. Going to get some more done on the Dart next week, need to have both cars ready to go for the Yanks weekend at the end of the month.
