A lot of the wiring has been completed. Oil and water/coolant added. Exhaust mounted and tips fixed. HalTech is in. Left the shop with the battery charger on it and hopefully first start up tomorrow morning.

The car started. Having some issues with the Cosworth sealing and getting vacuum leaks. Ordered new gaskets and having them overnighted. Yeap... Overnighting gaskets. LOL!

Compressed some. Still needs to come completely off the lift and new alignment.

Change the location of the JWT intake filter. This will help the hood close properly. Also have the LightWerkz '06 headlight in.

Still needs an alignment but on the ground.

Car is not completed but picked it up late Saturday night. Was able to drive it on a very conservative tune. Pulls pretty good and can't wait for final results. I'm dropping it back off to PowerFab tomorrow morning before depart back to Iraq. Hopefully I'll be home in Oct for the Texas Mile. Below are some pics...

I too also do not care for the blacked out tails...since I have a '04.5 SB Z with mostly black and wanted to keep the red as an accent. Good choice.
I upgraded my tails to '06 also....they look sooo much better than the older ones.
