I made the trip over to Eau Claire on Friday, but of course the glass guys were delayed a few hours, so I wasn’t able to see the car with the windshield and rear windows installed. Kurt was able to get the digital dash installed, which looks awesome!
We also test fit harnesses. I’m using Schroth 4 point harnesses with their anti-submarine technology. These harnesses also have their AutoComtrol feature, which is an inertia reel that locks when the there are sufficient levels of force (acceleration, deceleration, side to side movement, etc) as measured by electrical sensors placed in the car. This setup acts similar to a retractable three point shoulder harness in that you can move your upper body in the harness freely, except when it is needed to be locked in case of an accident or sudden movement.
Kurt sent me pictures after I left and the glass was finally installed. The replacement trim we received fit perfectly.
The glass is tinted smoked gray, and appears darker in these photos than it really is. The side glass in the picture below is a better representation of the level of tint. It’s subtle, but definitely noticeable and looks great with the shark gray metallic paint on the car.
We’re trying something a little different for the headlight dimmer switch that is mounted on the floor. I wanted a dead pedal for my left foot, and didn’t like the look of the dimmer switch on the floor. So, we’re using the dead pedal as the dimmer switch cover. Kurt fabbed up a hinge for the bottom of the dead pedal that will allow the dead pedal to hinge at the floor. The upper portion of the dead pedal will rest on the dimmer switch, and you can simply depress the dead pedal to turn high beams on and off. We’re going to powder coat the dead pedal in a color similar to the body color and all of the little holes in the dead pedal will be filled with black rubber plugs. I think it will end up looking pretty cool.
Kurt also got the digital dash powered up today and sent me a pic...
And the rear view mirror powered up as well.. pic of the mirror with the front HD camera rolling...
Heading back to Eau Claire on Friday to get global tune file uploaded into the ECU, and test electrical connections on ECU, digital dash, etc. in anticipation of firing up the LS7 sometime next week!
