Looks good Brian! Question for the guys who have basically rewired a race car. Have you followed schematics online or do you see whats you have left after a bunch of accessory removal and figure it out? That circuit board looks confusing but manageable. I'm more curious than anything. My car is a LONG way of becoming anything close to this, if ever.

I talked with Weldon about scavenge pumps, they were out a couple of months on theirs, and the first 100 were going to England. I asked what he would recommend since I couldn't wait that long, and he said the Exa-Pump was the closest thing to a Weldon. Bronze gears, heavy duty construction etc... So that is what we went with, it is a nice piece and worked fine. I would pop the extra 100 for the Exa.
Or I have a new Tilton diff pump sitting here if you need it.

Bought a used Mocal scavenge pump...I'll give it a whirl to see how it goes...
Got a few things done this weekend...
Shortened the rear LCAs. when I redid the LCA mounts, they must be a little more forward than before which caused the rear to sit too far back with the LCAs fully retracted. Cut off one of the tube ends to shorten each LCA and welded on new tube ends. All is good now
Installed the parachute handle and dual cables.
Modified the spill plate supports on the wing to pull them in nice and tight to the body. Painted the wing struts so that project is now complete.
Finished the electrical panel...Just need to wire the car to it and test everything.
Dropped my converter off to ATI. Having a new stator design installed which will tighten it up a bunch...
Dropped my transmission off to my tranny guy for a checkup and to get new seals installed since its been sitting for a year now
Shawn said he's got all the parts for the motor now...and has started the machine work

I've never been a fan of I/C in the car, but sometimes you just don't have the room or can take the weight up front. Having a ballistic blanket really does add some piece of mind
