Glad to hear it's going to be started this weekend, Marty. It's been a long time coming.

Marty, you certainly do not disappoint sir!!

I know I'm stupid late on the brakes, but when you use a vacuum gun you need to put teflon tape or paste on the bleeder screws so you don't get air from around the threads = false readings.

One thing better, and to add to your shelf, is check out Motive Power Bleeder. That thing has changed my life. I got really tired of hearing the wemmens complain about running the brake pedal I found this and never looked back.

https://www.motiveproducts.com/colle...e-bleeder-kits

If you have an older master, the early american rectangular adapter is a pain to use. It doesn't seal very well, I've used C-clamps to hold it down to get by. That being said, having a large reservoir of pressurized fluid is amazing when you're running the bleed by yourself. Just seal it, pump it up, then stroll to each bleeder and crack them. You have to add a couple pumps to the reservoir every now and then, but man, makes brake jobs like butter. Even purchased the tilton adapter and use it to bleed my T56 setup, takes 10 minutes start to finish, almost cheating.

Well that was left out of the instructions. However I am certain I will bleed them at least one more time.

Glad to hear it!! Run by the hardware store and pick up denatured alcohol as well, that's what recommended to flush/ clean the pump after use.

Default Planning ahead for Kick Panel Speakers (( 01-01-23 ))

Since the carpet is in I figured I might as well see how well the center console fits. I need to tap the threads so I could use a
bolt versus a screw. I am also going to have Dennis at High Speed Welding fabricate a tray for the surround to sit on.




Planning ahead again. I decided it as time to run the wires from the center channel to the kick panel.

Default More trick parts on order. (( 01-05-23 ))

More trick parts on order.

Since I have to remove the steering column to repaint it as it has been scratched to death. I have ordered the collapsible steering
shaft to save me from being impaled by the steering wheel in a car accident.

Default Intake Tube Concept 2.0 (( 01-07-23 ))

I didn't care for the first intake tube and actually it was the second as I sent the first one back.





Using a tighter bend radius it looks like I can get a 6" filter on the end. We shall see when we install the Anvil Carbon-Fiberglass inner fenders.





6" Filter installed.



Need to find a good location for the MAT sensor





Since I had a very nice set of pedals made for the first version of the car I would like to use them. The Guys at Screaming Chicken . com make a very nice adapter.
