Yeah, I've been crazy busy, and remiss to post this outside Facebook yet. I have something special up my sleeve for the d-_-b crowd!

Justin's giant boxes of headphone fun are on their way. Wish I were going to be there with y'all.
Special extras we put in:

So I sold a small Chipamp to a nice gent on Audio Asylum. He was using it for (one of) his horn systems, and he said it worked out real well. He sent me some pics of two of his other speaker systems:
City Beer Store 10th anniversary release by Cellarmaker called 300 Steps IIPA
Bottles and on tap. Walking the 300 steps from here to Cellarmaker for a bottle release of their Coffee & Cigarettes smoked stout, also pictured.
With the motor and turbo system test fitted, time to start buttoning up the driveline.
Rossler 4L80E trans. I can shift it manual or auto, but the key is it handles the power and has overdrive for the standing mile events. [/URL] The rear cradle was showing cracks from several years of abuse so gusseting in order Trans serviceable with the harness installed in a way it can be dropped w/o having to drop the whole driveline I've been running hard piping for a while so it needed an update for the rebuild given repositioning of some bits... My Corsa exhaust from 2009 modified to fit the system and with some manual cutouts...less back pressure for the turbo system should I need it at the track
The Ford 9" rear end with Wavetrac differential is worth it's weight... The black hoop over the DS is a rear safety loop.HS

@screaming oranges still needs to figure out what an airplane is so he can make it.
Did I miss anyone?

Condolences, Todd.
And fuck, Guy Clark... I saw him a long time ago, trading songs at the Telluride Bluegrass Fest with Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Emmylou Harris, and Steve Earle. It was probably the best singer-songwriter experience of my life.
Test fitting of the motor, with midplate and integrated K-member / turbo piping (including oiling) goes in and out of the vehicle to tweak things. To say some assembly required would be an understatement...in the end it was obvious the headers that kick it all off were....well, off. That resulted in the geometry getting all squirrelly the further back the plumbing went.
Not exactly lined up...lol
Some shots of the turbo plumbing installed going in and out of the car. It really is a clean setup, once the fitment issues were addressed, and soooo much cleaner than what I had previously.
Here is an example of the frame being notched and boxed out very nicely to avoid clipping one of the ears off a turbo
Huge front rollbar in the way so custom endlinks, a bit of rotating it and then removing some material required
integrated oiling box won't clear the rollbar
so change things up
