Man how time flies
Just over 4 years of radio silence. I spent right up until about April 2018 renovating the house in SoCal to put it on the market and move to TX in July that year. A year of projects with the new house including setting up my music studio and recording 7 songs, and finally dusted off the car last Fall. Spent 10 straight days over Christmas break hammering out details and welding. Then every weekend since plugging away.
Mounted the steering column, split and relocated the dash and notched around the cage tho will weld it in after I do the firewall sheeting, relocated the wiper motor inside behind the dash, fabbed up an exhaust, mounted the fuel regulator and water pump, went to PRI and ended up getting a custom steering rack from Coleman so had to make new brackets and start mounting that. I no longer have access to legit machines so will have to pay a shop to machine a custom tie rod mount bar that will have the ability to allow for Ackermann adjustments. Routed the cooling system from leftover Porsche project stuff so will get new hoses to finalize. Mounted the shifter for the sequential and the reverser lever. Will cut the shifter arm off and fab a bracket to attach a Hurst shifter for the right look when I put the SS console back in. Redid the pedal assy mount and fabbed up mounting for the fuel pedal cable and set it for wide open throttle. Refabbed my Holley carb mount to better align the springs and cable as that was always a bit janky. Crazy what can get done in 2 months, wish I had 6 months 5 years ago, would be driving it haha
