    Same here! I have a week off of work coming up after next week and I hope for a test fire then.

    Got back on this one last weekend. I freshened up a Holley 780 I had but had to make a new bracket to relocate the coil since the bowls hang out further. I got the alternator brackets made; I decided to go with a GM alternator so Id have an internal regulator. I also pulled the fuel pump for the SHO motor out of the tank and replaced it with a straight 3/8" line and will mount an external pump. As soon as i get the fuel line run and the pump mounted, it should be ready for a short test fire.

    First fire up today; sounds pretty good. Next order of business is to figure out how to fit the steering column around the headers and the starter.

    Sounds pretty good, like you said! Congrats on a good first fire, and to keeping your eyebrows!

    I cut down the original column today and made a piece to hold a lower bearing. I'm moving the column over and down a bit which is ok because now it's centered with the gauges. It looks like I will get by with just two u-joints; one at the end of the column and one on the rack. Now I need to build a column drop and cut the shaft for a trial fit.

    I got the column drop finished and did a trial fit on the shaft. Everything clears, I should be in good shape. I made a floor plate for the lower column mounts, then pulled it all back apart for some touch up paint.

    Done, all back together and turns smooth with no binding. Not sure if I can use the steering wheel; now that I lowered it, it might be too big and be sitting right on my lap. I'll know when I put the seat in. Should be able to put the front clip back on next and start piping the cooling system.

    I got the front clip back on in the last couple of days and have been working on little things like getting the shift cable mounts lined out, changed the leaky pinion seal, plus other misc items. I really lucked out; I was afraid the inner fender wells I built for the SHO motor wouldn't fit around the Mopar engine but they worked out great.
