    I think it'll be a fun car to build! I put together a wheel alignment system, and a 4 corner scale. I've collected a bunch of spare parts.
    I'm also doing house renos, today we put in a 15 foot beam in my screen porch, being turned into a sunroom. Took out 3 posts, now the wall is wide open!

    So, I've been thinking a lot about this new car. I would like everyone's opinion about how I should build it. I'm thinking a Street/Track version of Phate 's car. I want a car that is a sport/touring car. Hotrod PowerTour type car. Something that I can take to the track, carve a mountain pass, take my wife to dinner (But do a Big Smokey Burnout on the way out of the parking lot). Let me know what you think!!!?

    Good luck with your build! I’m following your build process as I’ve got a lot of similar questions. Bought a red MS6 from a friend who’s doing some bodywork on it prior to my pick up.

    So, there's another Speed6 on the road again. I ended up focusing on the Silver car, instead of the black one. I had it out this afternoon, I forgot how much fun it was!!! 20210315_182807.jpg

    Filled the engine with this. I'll send away a sample for analysis. I also added the shift fork update, and the billet T-case caps. Filled everything with Amsoil 75W/90 synthetic. Everything working really nicely now! 20210312_174705.jpg

    Oh almost forgot, I got the injectors cleaned, and installed Overspeed seals. I put in a DM rear motor mount too. 20210312_172717.jpg
