Some more...

Turco's car and a tired Paul:



Paul, in his neverending quest to swoon Dex, performs a nonchalant stetch...



Turco, about to "Win" all over his engine bay. Shortly after this shot, all of the bolts put themselves back where they came from...and torqued themselves down...

I am surprised paul's fly wasnt open so his peepee would "accidentally" fall out when he stretched.

Hahah, nah, it's legal. My wife bought that for me when we moved into the house...a "garage warming" present, I guess you could say. She got it off eBay somewhere...

I have more pics, but none to post tonite... I had a busy Sunday with the bathroom... i got a ton of work ahead of me for the next few weeks, between the car and the house...we'll see when I have time for more pics.
Yea, i'm going to take another look at it sometime this week, I know at least the first and second connections prior to the bend are fine, it's after that somewhere..I figure worse comes to worse I put the hex bolt back in for dyno day, but it will probably get fixed before then, and we could always look at it again on sunday with the mbc and hfc. Then all should be done. I'll post up some pics tonight, was too tired last night to post them up.

Nice pics!! As all of you were hangin out, I was stuck here at work till 4...ugh.
I got as far as only doing the oil change. Looks like next weekend will be the remainder of the parts install. Motor mount, Walbro Fuel pump, air filter, t-bolt clamps, oil catch can, and 6500k bulbs. gonna be a long day....

Turco- glad to hear positive feedback on the SS line. Any tips or hints to look out for during install? Or is it just a PITA procedure....?? Not sure when I will be getting around to doing this. Seems like a time consuming install.

The only time consuming part is getting the line back in.

Some tips:
- Use the stock bolt!!!!!!!!
- The angle of the line going into the master cylinder is what will or wont let you get the bolt back in so that needs to be flush with the cylinder. For us it took two people, a pry bar, and a grabby tool.
- Where the master cylinder is it is very difficult to get the line flush because of the strut tower. We managed to have the line come down from the top of the tower to get it flush using the pry bar.
