moar done... spent a lot of money this weekend... stupid odds and ends are killing me. Got the headers coated, all new hydrolics for the clutch system, actually got the clutch bled while everything was easy to get to... Got her back together and started working on the wiring more. I got a universal kit from Jegs for the wiring, still kinda lost, but I have more than everything that I need. Still need switches and a bunch of crap. Anyways...

Whats w/ the top of your cowl where the hood seal usually goes? Did you chop that up? Oh and what color is it going to be silver or red? Looking good :wub:

 

2 days after I painted the body, my hood flew up and dented the cowl all to hell. So I cut it, cranked it down in an attemt to have some sort of cowl induction. I don't really care for it how it came out, cause my hood is bent all to $ hit.

 

Anyways, got some mroe done, throttle cable done, tighten up some bolts, etc. Should be running in a week or two now.

j/k The whole thing is going to be wrapped, with red stitching. I'm going to get gauges and what not this week.

Are you covering this yourself or what. I just built one very similer for a vette. I would love to cover this instead of paint it, looking for some ideas if you are doing this yourself or a price if someone else is doing this. Also, if you need any help reading those schematics I could decipher them for you.

yeah my girl is nice with materials so shes going to give me hand and do the stitching and stuff. I got a little bit more done today, this just takes forever. But I like it its coming out exatly how I wanted it, like everything else no compromise. Black suede is gonna look f-ing dope.

^^^ beat you to it Mario.. But I was hoping it would have been before Vegas when John was to make his trip to norcal. But not sure If he's still doing so? And that I can't make it to Vegas I'll miss out on this beast.

 

Oh and i think his car might be a little hard for us to drive Mario because his seat is non adjustable

And he's taller than use I believe.

 

Think it will be road ready to make your norcal trip John?
