Thanx guys! Glad you enjoyed checking out the project, and Austin, this weekend! It was funny, when we got to the shop, within 5 minutes Rob, Dave and Weld were crawling around on the floor of the shop checking out the bottom of TOW. They must have spent 45 minutes under there! And what feedback did I get? My tires are too small, we did my shaker all wrong, and my parking brake setup sucks... :catfight:

Gotta love Lat-G! :lateral:

It's always fun getting to talk cars / shop all weekend. Hope you guys aren't suffering too much from the sunburn like I am today. Oh, we had a much better weather day, right after you left. :peepwall:

We're back at it, or I should probably say, Eric is... I went by tonight, but I didn't get to do any actual work. Eric is knocking out the punch list pretty quickly though. Headlights are fixed, interior dash parts are painted, new shifter handle is made, gas pedal is spaced up from the floor, and he's working on some new interior quarter panels to replace the original plastic ones since the DSE mini tubs make things difficult to fit back there...

And the west coast crowd will be glad to know that a Lokar parking brake cable kit is on the way to replace the factory one. :smiley_smack:

I told Eric tonight we're going for a drive this weekend. I have some work to do on the tuning to make that happen, but we're sure gonna try and make it happen!!! Shaker, parking brake, and wiper motor be damned! :confused18:

About time. Get that car out on the road and show it off.:cheers:


One out of three is better than none. :stirthepot: I have a nice bronze glow just like after a surf trip. :D

Did Rob take pictures of your dash?

Gitter dun! Very exciting so close to the end...

That sun whooped me pretty good. Back to the perfect weather of California. I knew there was a reason it was so expensive to live here. :)

Get that video ready for this weekend....

Ha! Rob didn't, but I happened to snap one last night:

I should remove the steering wheel and get a better one. And no making fun of the horn button, we're still working on the horns. :knokwood:

Yeah, yeah... Eric and I were checking tire clearances last night again. And I have been on the hunt for air cleaner foam! :idea:

:D Good looking dash!

Horn......thought it might be a bobble-eye thingy. :poke:

What are you doing for horns? I have a new set of Hella trumpet horns but need to further research proper relay/wiring procedure before installing.

Your horn "shorts" to ground.... so using a relay.... your lead from the horn button goes to # 85 thus becoming the "switch". Get my relays from SPAL (you'll have to shop for supplier) because they are GM Weatherproof sealed versions suitable for exterior use... and have long leads already. Hook 'em up and go! Two horns -- just run the power in series using a jumper from one horn to the other.
