Looks like you're going to end up with a far nicer car than you bought!!

I didn't go back to the beginning to read what brought all of this work on. It was a "done" car....

The paint and interior was a bit tired and worn from past shows and driving events. A lot of what is expected for a car that is driven hard and used as a track car. WBD and MSD needed to do a little more tuning research on the ATOMIC EFI set up for drivability. For the most part, the car is very well sorted. We added some additional levels of safety based upon how we plan to use the car. The roll bar, new harnesses, wiring improvements, and fire bottle would better match the intended purpose and some changes to event requirements. Plus these items give us peace of mind, or at least more peace of mind knowing that if we encounter an incident while driving the car, we improve our chances of avoiding injury. The last item we were interested in was making the car ours, but maintaining the legacy of the car Albert built. The paint scheme and graphics combined with some finishing touches to enhance the overall appearance, but not radically change it is the goal we are shooting for. I can't wait to see how you feel it turns out.

Agreed. We are a bunch of crazy guys and gals. LOL! I think my buddy with a 77 TA needs to be committed some times.

I received some updated pics of the progress on the install of the LSX454 in our 69 Camaro project. We ran into a header clearance issue with the Ridetech TruTurn bump steer bracket. We are modifying the Dynatech headers to clear the steering linkage so hopefully we will hear it for the first time next week.
