Yikes! Been forever and a decade since I have updated!

The glasspack is on, and fun.

I have liquidated nearly all of my 2056 screamer parts. Currently the carbs, heads, cam and lifters are on ebay.

I have installed a rear stock bar... phenomenal difference in handling!

Past friday I had 930 tierods installed, new Fuzion 195/55/15 tiars all around and a 4-wheel alignment. Better handling!

WCC06 is in 6 months, so my plans are changing for the car.

Within the next month or two I will:
-Increase displacement from 1.8L to 1911 with a 96mm P&C kit, bump the compression.
-Install a lightened flywheel (12 or 13 lbs).
-Install new chromoly pushrods.
-Install a pair of refurbed stock 2.0 heads.
-This should make for a sweet fast-revving 1911cc, still usable with my L-Jet (read: low investment cost, good power gains).
-Re-do my door panels with some GT look... smooth with only window winder and door latch.
-Weld in rear-trunk hinge console to have a closing trunk.

Within the next three to four months I will:
-Do some bodywork (new panels, fill some holes).
-Remove the wheel-well fender lips (clean-shaven).
-Change the wheel well openings from square-ish to round... who the hell makes square wheels? No need for flares (yet).
-New front and rear trunk seals ($KA-CHING$)
-Shave 200lbs by gutting my rubber bumpers, fabbing some custom aluminum mounts with a series of rivets, bolts, washers, and aluminum sheetmetal.
-PAINT IT A PRIMARY MATCHING COLOR. Contemplating a "Stripe" clone, but 2 of them with some metallic blue?

Within the next five months:
-New windshield.
-Wash it.
