Special Thanks to Crane Cams for helping us out again! Now just need valve springs, push rods, rockers, and the carb.

Been busy at the shop and have not made a lot of progress lately. Did finally decide on a dash. Scored on a new ETB Digidash Pro with logger and sensors for $500.00. Should do more than what we need. Also started re installing interior panels.

Have the dash and logger. It is a little smaller than I was expecting, but for $500 it will give me Speedometer, Tach, Fuel Pressure, Coolant Temp, Trans Temp, and Fuel Level. Now we just need to get caught up in the shop so we can get it installed. Should be ordering the last of my engine parts today so will have some pics of that soon!!!





Digidash Pro + with data logger

Car is sick! I wish I had a big shop so I could spend more time on stuff like that. Just did the cage in my car and would have LOVED to peel all the glass out and the roof off. Would have made it turn out much nicer.

Been a while since we had time to work on the sn95, but made some progress this weekend.





Switched from the 6010 to a Smart Spark from Daytona Sensors.




The Smart Spark harness looks a lot nicer than the msd.





Doors are in primer but we ran out of paint.





Bumper Covers are Done.





Trunk is Done!





Mounted Data logger, Progressive, and Wide band in the car.
