Hay what kind of wood did you guys use to hold up that steering servo valve? It looks like Pine.

Yeah but it's a special, high tech pine made especially for holding up steering servo valves!

Will you guys be clear urethaning it or maybe some hand rubbed oil? This car can not only be on Rides, but New Yankee Workshop as well! Nice!

LOL!!! Good Idea! Maybe I'll get Rodger and the crew to make some cabinets in the trunk!

John, your project is really coming along, thanks for the updates.
The curve fan shroud is a nice touch. What fan are you running?

To go back to the fire system, I am not sure if this is pertinent to your setup but what we did is put them (the bottles) on their sides so they will go off if the car is upside down, and also lay them pointed in different direction so that if the car is on its side then at least on bottle will go off.

Oh and by the way very cool car…

Thanks!

We are quickly running out of room so I think we may run the bottle or bottles in the trunk and plumb some line to the respective areas that we feel we will need the stream to be. Either that or I may put them under the seats!
The underdash compartment is filling up quick so we need to try and find another location for the bottles!

I was wondering who that new guy at the shop working on my car was!
