Verdad Gallardo Coming along nicely. Im jealous. I wish I could have mine sitting on all 4s. LoL. I like that you put the stock interior back in it. Gotta love a car with a console and cup holders
Is it engine time yet? Lol. I just scrolled through every 23 pages of this build and was expecting it to be done. But your work is so thorough and so clean it makes my truck look like a junkyard piece. Can't wait to see the finished product it looks like you mean business with this build. Keep it up man

Yeah..... damn I hate wiring!! But it is much easier when it is minimal like in a race car! Good luck!!
Are you going to cut the plastic winshield pillers, to fit back against the cage??
I have nearly altered my wiring in the wagon to accomodate some new autometer guages, my accessories are all wired, I have a battery....... but I have a small wiring gremlin that light up the tail lights constantly when you connect up the positive cable. Not to sure why yet, as the car didn't do it previously. Anyway I'm working on it, catch ya.

Hey Dennis, super busy is good for paying the bills and saving up race car money!! Your car is coming along real nice!! I like the fuel cell, did chuck put the mounts on when he added the bars to your cage?
Did you go to the LSX shootout at Brandenton?
I spoke with chuck thismorning and over the past few days, my diff is ordered and will be ready in three weeks or so. Man I cant wait to see this thing! I think we have it all covered!
Hope you get a chance to get a few more things done! Catch ya man.
Forgot to say, I like the front plate, are you going solid mounts now? Whose front plates are those Burkharts?

Great to here that your mounting the fuel cell, man it looks like you have done a nice job. Like I said I guessed it was Chucks work!! Some time off, sure sounds great!! Were now back to normal short days here.... daylight savings has finished for another year, so things will slow down even more as the daylight goes.
Damn no racing, FUELS car is doing well.... he raced at brandenton and the car looks and sounds super strong!! He uploaded a clip in my thread.... wish I was racing!!
The wagon has been sitting for the past 3 weeks now and im not happy, the metal polisher dropped my radiator and dented my endtank, so it has been getting repaired. I should have been able to start it by now, but with no radiator what can I do. Soon as it gets back I will sort it out, I have my wiring gremlin sorted, so now just got to play the waiting game and use the process of elimination to begin to start the thing once its all in place!! Man im hangin to start it.
Spent yesterday on the grinder, cut a few pounds out of the rear of the camaro, in the boot floor like you did, the outer fenders and I already started a removable trans cover!
Plenty to keep me busy!!
Catch ya man!
