I want to run 10.5 all motor then I will spray however with the gears im going to run it won’t leave that much room ☹ I could put a bigger tire on it however I have a lot of work before I hit the numbers I want NA. Cross that bridge when I get there A bunch of shit is supposed to show up over the next couple days hopefully I can get the car back together and get the motor stuff installed and tuned. Hopefully I can order the rear end end of next month after the car runs/drives ok. ---

Ordered Speed Inc carpet I think I decided to just order a wolfe cage and have turbociv weld it in. Also ordered a new SS spoiler its a aftermarket piece should be lighter then the stock one for whatever reason the original owner swapped it for a regular z28 spoiler. 🍚 Still waiting on my fucking valve springs to show up figure I will just goto Choko for paint first and then bring it from there to Pats. Ordered blacked out turn signals and side markers 🍚 Hopefully ordering Kirkeys shortly also Maybe I will be able to drive it by September ☹ I was going to rush to get it out but since the interior and shit is all apart im just going to do it right worse case I make a couple passes in mine shaft air in September/October ---

> [@LZ](#): > > We removed the backing from hood and made it pin on hood went from 48lbs down to low 20s. Have you driven with it like this yet? I’m curious if it shakes while on the highway. I once had a fiberglass hood on my Mustang, I assume of shit quality since it had no center structure, and at highway speeds the center would move up and down ~ 1/4".
