Ok, so I've had a good few days in a row to work on the Tank.
First off, get your sunglasses out.


I removed the A/C condenser in dash. My A/C is completely removed now. That weighed 5.2 lbs, for a total of 118.2 lbs removed, not including this block swap. The boz is resealed with grey RTV.
I'm also replacing a brake line to the right front, since I did the other three last summer.

I also realized that it was a good time to get some pics of my lower air dam.
I made a template out of cardboard before cutting the final piece out of aluminum. It's secured with nut plates so that it can be removed easily, if needed. It's kinda hard to see since it's painted the same flat black as the car.
Pic from the front:


You can see how much it covers up. Pic from behind:


I painted more stuff. I should be able to set the crank tomorrow night and maybe throw some pistons in soon.
