Then, I will tidy up the dash harness and wire the rear lights.

Coming along nicely, Neil. Your brake line looks awfully close to the headers in a couple pictures. Is it? Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Yes, the Ridetech steering box brace bolted right on. The car is pretty twitchy with the Borgeson box, have you guys encountered that?

Thanks! The brake line isn't as close as it looks in the pics. The power steering fluid is getting hotter than I'd like though.

I know that it makes the car pretty responsive. Do you like the way it steers?

It's way better than stock, but I'd like to calm it down a little. Adding caster helped a bunch.

The debugging continues and I've started on the interior finish items. March is always a super busy month in Florida so not much time to work on the car. However, I fit the new Speed Hut gauges, re-colored the bezels and lower panel, pre-wired the gauges, and installed the upper dash. Next up is the center gauge/switch panel and console.

I really like those gauges. They have a stock feel to them.

Love the build!
