I have out of my pocket in access of $60,000 in this project so far. That includes absolutely NO time, NO labor, NO travel, NO shipping etc. That is just in parts.

Latest update. We got the billet parts back with the latest changes noted and implemented at the CNC shop. We also have the 300m input shafts done and returned to us. The trans is scheduled to go back in the car tomorrow and then testing will begin as soon as the tracks open again here.

I am obviously hoping this is the last piece to the puzzle!

Update. We attempted to assemble all the new parts and ran into some machining issues. The shaft has been sent back with the trans components to have the splines changed slightly. Should be a quick turn around.

Sorry guys, no updates......just waiting for that shaft to come back. The splines were off enough we couldn't get the shaft to go back into the trans. The clutch packs, converter etc were all sent back to the machine shop and they've had it about a month now. I was told I will have it back in my hands this week.

I have also come up with a solution to the flex plate bolts I believe but it's is yet another part that is going to have to be machined and added to the "kit" if there is ever a "kit" produced. Obviously my goal is to offer this at some point but before we sell one I want to make sure it is proven first. I'd assume if things go right I am going to race the car this year and if successful then offer these in the fall of this year.

No updates, but it's still good news that you haven't abandoned ship.
