Passenger Side

As you can see there will be more cutting on the Passenger side.



I still need to clean up the back side





Test Fitting



First Cut



then some more



Test Fitting



Need to remove a little bit more.



Looking much better





and were taking off some more



It's hard to tell but I lowered the tap again and made a new cut line.





Cutting is complete !!!!



I plan to fill in the holes and then drop these off at Mr Trim's so they can wrap them in leather.

Today was a very weird day as this was my 11 year chemo start date anniversary and I really didn't feel like working on the
car so I decided to go out and look for the Holley EFI communication cable that I misplaced and whatever else I could find.

I spent an hour cleaning up and organizing parts and pieces and then I found the Holley Cable on the wiper cowl.

Which of course was right in front of my face the entire time.



I put the Anvil Radiator cover on and wow is this a nice piece.





Made Remy new napping place and I think he likes it.



Found my hood hinges that Pro-Tek Powder Coating did for me many years ago. They are coated in dust (top rack in my warehouse)
and since I don't need them now they are going to stay right where they are.

Nice work Marty, and i love the spot for Remy

My Jack Russell is scared of loud noises so he wont come in the shop.

My good buddy Ron happened to be traveling through the area and he decided to spend the night. Ron also happens to
be building my old Green 70 Camaro. His brother is doing the paint and body and it is stunning.



While he was here he went over my car looking at everything and taking mental notes. I had just made a comment that
I couldn't find the G-Force Crossmember shim stack and 1 second later he goes this one.

I spent at least an hour looking for it and it was still on the rack right where I put it.



We climbed in the car and he looked at everything and I did my best to show him as much as I could remember. The of
course the Garage Supervisor showed up to have a talk Man to Dog with him.

I had a little bit of time tonight so I went out and did another small project.

My plan is to add Techflex wrap to the battery wires to give it a finished look.



Need to get out the hot knife to recut Techflex wrap.





The yellow wire loop is strictly there to hold the terminal cover on. I plan to come up with a tag that says something funny or absurd.



Added a small piece of electrical tape to get the fuse at the right angle so I could easily see it.



All Better or should I say good enough.



I also removed the blue tape off the Anvil Carbon Inner Fender.



It's slowly but surely getting there.



I still need to figure out something for the ground kill switch.

[syborg tt]

Since I bent the first brass battery shut off switch I need to swap it out with one that isn't bent.



I just hate the way the wires look on the kill switch.



I added a start washer so I don't have to worry about the bolts coming loose.



I think I am going to glue this board to the kneeling pad as I can't believe how useful it is.



I highly doubt this will be the last time I mess with the ground wiring.



Well I went and did it I now have a small padded cutting board.

So I am getting close to driving the car. Actually I could drive it but I just want to get some other stuff done before I drive it.

I dropped off the rims and tires at Village Auto for the guy to mount them and well the rear tires went on really easy. I can't say the same for the fronts.







He ran out of black wheels weights so I had to paint one set.

Next project is the passenger side door panel.

As you can see the holes didn't really line up.



I gentle used the nut driver to push down on the backing to release it from the board so I could install the clips.





I decided to make a "E Flute" cardboard template for drilling holes in the door.









Nailed it !!







Clips installed



Everything lined up perfectly.



Since I have three points of contact (window crank & arm rest screws) I was able to used this for drilling all of the holes in the door.



I cut a small opening for the door handle to see how close I got.





Pictures doesn't show it but i was 3/8 of an inch to high.



Calling it a night





why so many tools ?



This is kinda funny. Where the heck am i going to find one of these two size drill bits.
