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:

Small Update

I've been going over the electrical a bit more (read: ripped it all out and started over LOL!)

I didn't like the way I had it all run. It would have made the carpet uneven in a few spots, and I just wanted it to be neat and tidy. So, I've started over. I used an old drill bit box as a fuse box and will be mounting it more securely in the rear "cargo" area. I've also remounted my master kill switch to a more remote area that will be somewhat difficult for the nafarious to find.

Today is the first day that I might actually be able to go out there. I've been traveling all over the place over the last 3 weeks.

There, Happy, Ken? I've actually updated my blog.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!

We have ignition!!! Ran like a champ! Plenty of oil pressure, temp was good, sounded AWESOME!!!!

I have a few small issues to go over, but I'm very pleased!

Down to the wire....

Wiring is currently being done. Hopefully after today, I'll be in a position to fire the motor.

I need to install the gauges, wire them, and finish the starting/ignition system. I have a few things to re-check on the engine before hitting the go button, but I'm CLOSE. REALLY CLOSE!

I can almost smell the octane!

Body and Frame UNITE!!

The body is back in my shop, and on the frame. Now the fun stuff can begin!

Coming home in a few hours....

Wet Sanding

The paint wasn't up to Ricky's standards. It had a bit of orange peel due to the insane heat we're having here in Ohio. So, we started wet-sanding last night to get it ready to spray on Thursday morning. With any luck, it should be back in my shop on Friday to begin assembly.
