Next up...

I wanted to change up the feel on the inside of the car so the plan is to experiment with steering wheel and steering wheel dish so I
ordered up a new Grant Steering wheel in Suede. I like the feel and the new locations of the wheel. However I may consider one with
less dish next. But for the time being this should work fine.



Okay, I finally ordered up a set of header studs and let's not talk about the bolts that are currently on the motor. Remember the 1st
version of the car was to be bolt together and so is the second version. Lets call version "Attention to Detail" phase.





Okay, it happened... "the might as well" since I am here thing.

My goal is to quiet down the inside of the car so I called the guys at DEI and ordered more BOOM MAT. Which of course meant
that I need to remove the Seats, Carpet and Tiger Cage and of course I might as well order a few 12 point ARP bolts to put back
in the Tiger cage.



It's a good thing I have good company while I am working in the garage. Not sure why I didn't get a new dog sooner even though they
can't talk it's nice to have someone just hanging with you. His favorite spot in under the brake pedal.

The first thing I need to do is isolate the interior from the trunk which should help reduce the sound from the Edelbrock electric fuel pump
and the general noise from an old car trunk. My plan is to make patterns of all of the opening and create close-outs with a thin high density
board and then line-x over it so it looks like part of the rear firewall.





And of course in short order my garage was full of cars and parts.
