     :wavingflag: It is a little low but I am planning on making a skid plate to be safe.  If it is too low I will probably switch to the road race style but worried about the clearance to the steering with that one

    Take a look at Kevko pans, I have one on my Cuda and they fit well and have good clearance.

     :wavingflag: Those are Kevko pans really nice, the price is pretty wallet friendly too! Which style did you use? I am using the FF fast ratio arms and TTI headers so I am concerned about clearances in those areas too

    Well more pain ensues, I went over to the machine shop to check on my engine progress.  I ended up milling the heads .030 to get the compression ratio correct but with the indy rockers I am having fitment issues with the push rods.  they are cut to fit but if you get the rocker where you have some adjustment in the length I am going to have to open the passages up more because they are rubbing.  Also didn't notice this before but the pushrods are .060 think tube.  Should I step up to .080? everything for the heads was provided by indy, but I won't call them again and get treated like a dumb@$$.

    I finished al the door gaps over the weekend and when i got home today finally got epoxy primer mixed and shot 3 coats over the entire interior. hopefully that is enough to keep any moisture out of the lizard skin. Crossing my fingers the weather holds out and this weekend will be a little rough sanding and epoxy over the entire car!! :working:
