OK! Finnally got off my ass and got some stuff done!
I sorta repaired the nosecone I took a grinder and cut out the cracks then I filled it in with fiberglass and topped it off with 2 layers of body filler and sanded it all down it turned out pretty good
Then me and one of my dads mecanics cut out the hood and welded a extension that looks badass once its all done then the clutch will be modified and a spring loaded brake setup will be made from the parking brake
ALSO the hood scoop still needs to be mounted and the EXHAUST IS GOING TO CHANGE I know that it looks badass but it dosent keep the smoke out of my face like I thought it would so I am goint to send it to an exhaust shop soon probably before the BIG paint job then some bumpers, racks, lights, and a winch and it will be all set!

Now I have LED lights and a light bar mounted up unfortunatley I couldnt mount the pod lights in the stock area but whatever
so... the fuel tank sprung a leak fot the 4th time and I litterally just got that finished so it will be running again tonight then all I have left it to attach the nose cone to the lower grill and somehow bolt down the hood scoop and that will be it! Then I can make the driving video and see what place this beast comes in!

Looks pretty good, neat engine. How is the kill set up on that? For your first post-competition modification, I definitely suggest locking the rearend!

Thanks! Basicley there is a little box on the side of the engine with 2 lines going in one is the throttle, the other is the kill switch I used the spot that used to be the choke to kill the fuel shutting the engine off.
