Well, its been a couple of weeks of the crew at Best of Show quietly plugging away on the car, albeit at a much more manageable pace this time, at it looks as though my Dad's Christmas gift might arrive (almost on time) for Cars and Coffee on the 26th.
Dick just called me to let me know that it finally moved under its own power, and since my dad is completely in the dark on this one, I had to tell someone. After having to go through and check over the transmission they figured out that we had a bad brand new slave cylinder. Under parking lot Driving conditions, raised a 1/4" from the previous pictures, it doesn't rub, which is good news for anyone that wants Anvil's inner fenders.
The electrical is all done too, so all that needs to be addressed at this point is fitting the inner fenders to our cut and rolled fender lips, and refitting the front to align everything. The cutouts work, too and damn does it sound wicked for a pretty tame LS. Pictures will follow tomorrow. I would love to share sound as well, but I don't think any of us have a video camera.
Also, Dick has started to ask some shop customers and friends to go up to Cars and Coffee in Irvine on the 26th, and I figured I would as well. If there is anyone local to socal, that doesn't mind getting up early, we would really like to have a local gathering of pro-touring guys.
