I got out the TCP Power Rack & Pinion, Baer Bump Steer kit, and installed them.

Mounted the knuckles to the Flaming River R&P and the column.

I marked and drilled the intermediate shaft for setscrew indent. The devil is in the details.

Got the steering wheel installed.

Then I had to play a little. I installed the Carroll Shelby Signature gauges. (See , I got it up to 4000rpm! hah) Couldn't resist. I didn't mount the instruments, though.

After I got everything installed, I set in it and , lock to lock is only 2 turns!!!!
That is good, however the turning radius sure looks like it could be tighter:

Installed the upper rear scoops.

Ground down to metal for the bonding agent.

Taped it off and painted the fins and inside scoops gloss black.

Removed the tape.

Ground off the paint around the edges and trimmed it a little.

Squeezed out the bonding agent and spread it out. I put the bonding agent on the car and spread it, also.

See how the bonding agent fills the gap very well. The fiberglass does not need to be a perfect fit, just within 1/16". And don't squeeze out all the 8115.

This is the finished product. It has no gaps and needs little or no filler. Photo does not do it justice!

I prep'd the side scoop area. Whenever I sand down to metal, as a rule of thumb I always use an epoxy primer (not shown) to seal it. Some people will use bondo right on top of bare metal. I believe that you really need a sealing agent to keep the metal from rusting!

So next will be an epoxy primer coat, and then a little feather fill.

Note how I used a little Kitty Hair to fill between the fender flair and the rocker panel.

Oh yeah...I like it!

I dropped the front and rear running gear, and prepared the entire car for undercoating.

I shot the underside with 2 coats of Lizard Skin Sound Control and 2 coats of Lizard Skin Ceramic Heat Insulation.

Pictures are washed out. It is a little black, but very flat in color.

This is more how it really looks.

I went ahead and shot one more coat of a product called Total Control. It is a glossier black, and has an orange peel finish. I went ahead and shot the engine compartment with this and I like how it turned out.

I replaced the U&LCA's, spindles, brakes, tires, R&P, and coilover rear end tonight. All in about 3 hours.

Holy Crap... That's a serious bunch of pics. Nice project you have there. That will be one sweet ride when completed.
