This car will be a beast once we start tuning it. It has a couple mechanical issues that need addressed and then it will be ready.

I am being his e-mechanic right now lol.

Yeah it will lol. Hopefully it'll be sorted out tomorrow morning so we can get this thing out on the street. Its extremely frustrating being so close and one little *** oil leak is stopping everything.

This is the seat bracket I fabbed up last week for my Kirkey Drag Seat. This is just temporary until I get two welded up out of aluminum.

Yeah its definitely strong and too heavy in my opinion. All of it is made out of steel and I used all hardened nuts and bolts. I believe the seat would have to rip out of its holes for it to fail which is highly unlikely lol. Oh and the weather is terrible right now in GA. Work sent us all home for today and tomorrow. So if you got time to work on straightening out the idle, I'll just be sitting at the house. Been thinking of a few other things I can be doing to shed some more weight lol. I'm probably gonna get started on it in a few minutes.

We ran into a problem setting the timing with the AEM so I had to send it to cali to be tested. I got it back a few days ago they said they found some corrupt firmware in it. So hopefully it won't be long until we're making some 800+hp pulls.
