Default This Week's Progress Report

Today I finally got my elbow polished. Pics below. Turned out pretty nice I think. After sanding I did 5 polishing wheel steps followed with Mothers polish. Should look good on top of my polished Vic Jr (it's at the metal polishing shop now).

Yesterday I got the steering wheel & pedals installed and got the dash connected up. I'm hoping to make my mounting bracket for the coil packs tomorrow so I can install them where the AC unit was. Then I need to test fit the FMIC to see what needs to move.

SOOOOO much to do..... Thanks to Jake & Bob @ EPP for getting all this stuff shipped!

I thought you had that thing running by now!

Looks nice, just keeping it polished will be a chore.

I wish! I'm hoping the engine will be done by mid Jan now. That "should" give me time to get the fuel system installed & some other odds & ends done. Since I'm working 50 hrs a week, it's tough to have the time or energy to do much when I get home. Once you get old like me you'll understand. And I am taking my time to get things just the way I want them....it's hard to get things to turn out like EPP does them. Takes a LOT of time.

Scarlet & Cream....too funny. Maybe if I still lived in Omaha.
