Round Two

[JMitch19]

I've been slacking on my thread updates. Since the last round of pictures I got tubs, cross member, and QuadraLink brackets welded in. Last week I took the car down to Joe and Paul VanNus at DutchBoy Hot Rods. They got started on the car on Monday and got more done in four days than I would have in a month and a half. My phone was stolen a couple of weeks ago so there is a big gap in pictures. These are mostly pictures that Paul has been sending me of the progress.

I am also including some pictures of the engine harness that I am building for Paul's LS3 swap.









Spatter paint done and cleared









Upol Rapter liner going on the floor.

Here are some pictures of Paul LS3 harness. It will be a two piece harness, so the engine can be pulled without having to unplug every connector. I'm hoping to have at least the engine side of the harness done by next week.













We are heat shrinking the entire harness and not using loom. This is flame and chemical resistant heat shrink. This is the first branch of the harness I have finished.

Very nice work on both the harness and the car

Excellent progress. I can't wait to see you guys at an event this summer!

Thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures of a finished harness in the next couple of days.

I just need one of these venders to start selling driver upgrades and I might be competitive now. The first event that I know we will be at is going to be MotorState. With any luck we might be a able to sneak one in before that, but we will see.

When does Sam turn 16? Are we going to see a 4 door nonwagon at any events this year?

Went down to Joe and Paul's shop this morning and we got the axles in the rear end and the QuadraLink back under the car. This is the first time the car has been on the ground since it was a leaf spring car last fall.

















Here are some more pictures of Paul's engine harness. It is coming a long really well. I'm hoping to have the engine side of the harness done by Wednesday.

Sam has his permit now, but will probably only be allowed to run some scca autocrosses this summer with Deb or I in the car. We're way behind on the four door, but maybe by next spring. Heck, I might end up needing to borrow his 6.2L before the end of the season...
We'll definitely see you guys at Motorstate!
