*** UPDATE 4/13/09 ***
Small update but progress is progress.
Got the old calipers off and new ones on. stock size rotar 11 inch but 2 piston to 4 piston conversion should help a lot. Im going to reuse the front 2 piston calipers for the rear.
Also cut the dash to fit around the bars. Bolted up and it fits good. Removed it for paint though.

Well finally got weekends off from work and got to moving again on the car. New deadline Im hoping before Import Alliance. It should be damn close.
Body welding is done. Time for some fiber glass and filler then primer.
Got in some goodies and awaiting a few more.
60lb injectors not pictured also came in.
Did run into a few issues with the motor placment. Intake elbow is too tall so we will be making one. Exhuast manifolds point into the rails. Will be making log manifold it looks like.

Corvette Manifold clearance. Fits better but still going to be tight to make my up pipe to the turbo. Once done they will be ceramic coated.
Master Cylinder mounted with adapter plate.
Wanted to keep the wood steering wheel but wont be enough space to get in. Gotta go to a removable steering wheel.
New Brakes on with the hubsyntric spacers
like 3 weeks of welding total. Not bad I think...
Seat will be finally mounted tomorrow. I finished up the mounts tonight.
