Gotta give you props on this. This is a damn clean *** build and you are payin very close detail to everything which is rare....Im not a fan of runnin the brake lines inside but if you like it then thats all that matters.

Good job and keep up the baller work!

looks freakin good !! i got a da shell i wanna build but im buildin my ef currently so thats jus gunna sit for a whiillleeee! lol lovin it tho keep it up and updated im anxious to see thissss!

thedb63

thanks you guys ive been in pittsburgh all week so no really big updates just cleaning the throttle cable and speedo cable and installing that stuff i still have to figure out where i want to cut a hole in the firewall for my harness to go through...im probably going to put it in the middle next to the t bracket but still not sure i will figure something out hopefully

its like i almost get to see what mine is going to look like.. just with different colors .. for the vacuum line that normally goes top the brake booster on the back of the sk2 im you can hit it with a rubber mallet so it faces down then cap it off i think it would look better..i personally am going to cap the front one and use the one originally for the booster to vent into the canister on the back just so the line is "hidden"

thedb63

you should of heated up that port on the back...it has a resin in it that if you heat it up and use like a wrench to pry it down it will cool back down and harden... using a mallet might have just cracked the resin that was holding it in place...you probably want to take a torch to that to melt the resin inside to make a seal again that way you wont have a vaccum leak....i like your idea but i will heat it up instead of hitting it... thanks for the tip i like it...

Yes I am a sheet metal worker! Thanks for all the comments fellas! Yeah it sucks trying to find alternatives of doing some of the work that could be so much easier to just spend the cash ...but hey at least I can I say I did all the work my self minus the machine work on the engine.
