That thing's been stiffened up so well......you better go to the dentist and get your fillings checked before you drive it! It looks like it is almost done, and is going to be really nice.

It's super stiff. They said they put a jack stand on one corner and lifted the whole car. That was without the trans mount and door bars. Lol. It's getting there which is good. It pays to be patient.

Transmission is in!

Saw the Dart today. I was playing around with different gauges to try to find the best place for a tach and I'm still undecided. Brake lines are almost all done. There are just little small details that need to be massaged out but hopefully it shouldn't take more than 3-4 weeks.

Looks good.
Check out this shift light, small and can mount about anywhere. Mine is down at bottom of dash near ignition switch. Had it for years and never a problem, simple to put in and change RPM, and it is bright.

There is a guy on FABO that sells a tach bracket that gets sandwiched between the dash frame and the upper pad.

Parts were ordered on Wednesday. Steering column we modified to fit the Borgeson box and fuel lines are being created.

Visited the shop this morning. The car is getting there. Fuel lines almost done. We're just waiting on a couple of fittings. They're installing a remote oil filter as we had some trouble clearing the TTI shorties. Modifying the fan shroud to make it fit and cool better. Some of the pullies needed some spacing to align. Shifter and tach are installed and are great! But she's almost there. They should fire her up for the first time sometime next week or early the following week. Sorry, I forgot to take photos.

Fire in the hole yet?

I'm supposed to pick it up sometime this week. As in done... done. They're having a problem with the wiring harness under the dashboard.

Finally, light at the end of the tunnel! Take it real easy on your shakedowns...

So see you at Fall Fling!

Definitely. I barely found collector car insurance for it, but I need the car because I have to have pictures of the car completed from all angles.

If you're going to be out here, give me a holler!

I'll be there for sure!

They're having problems with my parking lights continuously on and the turn signals not working. Driveshaft was just dropped off today. Waiting till tomorrow to figure out when I can pick her up.

Driveshaft is in, seat belt harnesses are being installed, wiring harnesses are being fixed, and the brand new fuel regulator was bad out of the box. So a new one will show up tomorrow, supposedly. Looks like I'll be picking the car up next week.

Fingers crossed!

The note I got today... "After a long day of tracing wires, repairing connections, and some new pins on several connectors we were able to get the wiring fixed and everything working. The new fuel regulator is installed and test for pressure. We expect to run the car tomorrow. We will bolt in the console and cover the rear seat pan. If shake down goes well, we should have the car ready to go on Friday! I can confirm tomorrow."
