What is the ETA on your kit? And did you get a manual yet? If you want I can run off a black and white copy for you.

I haven't gotten the manual yet so that would be great.   Jake said "early to mid October so we will see I guess.  And yeah Stewart did say it may take a "few weeks". I've toyed with just going to get it but it is pretty far.

If you PM me an address I’ll get a copy into the mail for you.  With the lengthy delay in my kit, I had asked Alec to send out the manual, that took about two months.  It was nice to pre-read the manual, though in truth, the manual is outdated.  For instance, it shows a completely different fuel tank that requires some custom work, but the actual fuel tank that came was ready to drop in with no fab. 

On second thought, I can probably just scan the manual at home, and email it to you.

It took about a month for Stewart to be ready to ship my kit.  I also considered flying out and doing a one way uhaul rental, it would have been cheaper, but also with uncertainty and risks on the road.  Much farther for me than you.

Well I finally decided on a fuel system.

Looks great! I’m sure it’s going to run very very beautifully.

What’s the displacement on your Stroker motor?

You can take that manual and toss it for all its worth. Better off digging through the forum for guidance :(

Nice to see you are doing a street car. My choice as well. I was very pleased with the under car exhaust Hurricane made for mine.

I must be living right.  The Cobra fuel system for the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 was going to be $500.  On a whim I went to the Summit outlet and found the exact system I needed,  open box, $250.  SCORE

Love it when that happens!  Going to be a great looking intake setup!

Continuing to do things while waiting for my car.  My spinners were natural,  as the polished ones had a substantial backorder.  My wife bought me a  bench polisher for my birthday,  so a little before and after

Those wheels are going to look great!  Happy Birthday and Kudo's to your wife who obviously knows how to gift car nut.

Thanks Jim.  Spoke with Jake today.   The headers for the undercar exhaust have been the hang up, but he said my frame should be back to Hurricane Friday,  so we may be getting close!

Looks real nice. Curious to see more pics of the exhaust. On mine they used a cherry bomb type round muffler with 2.5" pipes. Took them a while to make and fit it. After a few tries they came up with a good plan. Hope it's on the way to you soon.
