Got the alt back from PowerMaster, can't praise them enough, the service was incredible. Thank you John is 'returns/tech'.

Put another 200 or so miles on it, the tune is almost complete, just have some shifting programming left, need to soften the 1-2 shift at low throttle.

Ordered the GW control arms with the offset shafts, shafts are getting anodized, they should ship by end of week.

With the GTO endura bumper, the added weight pushed the front springs over the top, and it's sitting too low, and springs are too soft. Ordered some springs from GW when I ordered the upper control arms, but the springs are backlogged to DEC/JAN. Dang. So I ordered some 1/2" pad spacers, which will not only get it off the ground, but also slightly increase the spring rate. I will use those temp until I get the new springs.

Luckily, the springs that are coming out are the exact ones I need for the 442 when I go to the big block, works out for me.

Went back & forth on the trunk tension rods for cars with the wing, have had people debate if it uses a larger diameter rod or not. I couldn't find any larger diameter rods, so I got a aircraft quick release locking pin, and a biker wallet chain, drilled a hole thru the support and trunk arm, and that worked out to my liking. (couple pics)

Still have some minor stuff to do, detailing too, but an enjoying driving it now, so kinda not in too much of a hurry to do stuff!
