    I'll be sitting with some Cuban Rum tonight. Santiago de Cuba. I'm not usually a Rum fan but this one I like.

    I really need to get the car out. Still about a month or more to go Im afraid.

    I centered my fuel cell in my trunk and realized the same thing - that all of my battery room on the right side got a lot smaller - I think it will still fit but just barely :tiphat:

    Got my Brake lines plumbed, new calipers, rotors and pads installed. Ordered new Seat covers from Fred Carello (Heck of a nice guy). I got my new B303 Cam, 30 over KB pistons, 289 58cc heads with big valves, air gap intake (5.0 roller motor). Now if my engine buddy can just get time to put it together for me. I may get this thing together yet!!

    Well since its still technically TODAY, I took the maverick for a 3 hour cruise last night starting around 9pm and got home at 1230am. First real miles on the car since doing the T5 swap and changing out my fuel system. Last weekend the miles were cut short because the new holley fuel pump leaked. I changed it out over the week and now I can officially call the trans and fuel sytem swaps DONE.
