Been enjoying the ride!

Haven't been posting much, because I've been too busy having fun with the bucket!

YAY!

Drove it to work today! What a great day for a drive! I still have to work on the alignment a bit. It darts a little bit over really rough pavement, and tends to follow the crown in the road a bit. But, we'll get it done.

If the weather cooperates, the car will be at it's first show this weekend at Summit Racing Equipment for the annual Super Summit.

Can't wait!

It passed!

100% road legal! More on that story later.

Inspection

The inspection is on Friday. Hopefully I've got all the i's dotted and the t's crossed. We'll see. Friday morning we load it up on the trailer and tow it with Ricky's big red truck and take it to Garfield Heights.

Wish me luck! The suspense of the next few days are going to kill me!

Almost there!!!

The only things left before inspection are new windshield glass and to install the side and rearview mirrors!!!

Carpet and Shift Boot

More interior work with the help of my lovely wife.

Interior

Started work on the interior with the help of my AWESOME wife. This is just roughed in, but you get the idea. The Mexican blankets were made in Mexico... by Mexicans. :P

Quick Update

Getting closer to inspection time...

Wiring

No real worthwhile pics for this one. I've got most of the wiring sorted out again. I still have to hook up the gauges, horn, and tidy up the electric fan wiring.

I'm also going to pick up some sheet aluminum so I can make my temporary gauge panel. I'm just intersted in getting the car ready for inspection right now, so until i can figure out another solution for the dash, this will do just fine. This car will more than likely be an ongoing project for years to come, so why not leave a little something for much needed "garage therapy" later down the road.

More E-Brake

Got the ebrake installed and functioning. I'm one step closer to inspection and titling.

I gotta say, Lokar makes fine products. Everything worked as designed. No problems, no suprises.

E-Brake

Picked up a Lokar e-brake handle and cable. Looks like a pretty straight forward install. Gonna hit it hard tomorrow after work.

Here's what I picked up:
