I think we're making good progress. Since my last post, we've:
- Replaced my damaged fuel line with a flex PTFE one
- Installed pretty much all of the interior carpet. Glad I went with the wool. It looks and feels great
- Got the crossovers and speakers in, and finished up the conduit that carries the amp wiring, etc, to the rear of the car
- Replaced the ammeter with a matching voltmeter
- Installed the dash and windshield
- Installed the steering column. I may move the turn signal to the left. Also, the block that clamps the steering column to the shaft that extends through the footbox tends to rub the carpet panel when the wheel turns, so I will modify the block by rounding the corners and shortening the bolts
- Installed the glove box. Since there was no back panel included with the kit, we cut and formed one out of sheet aluminum, covered it with felt, and fastened it using black screws
- Finished most of the dash and MSD wiring and tied it up
- Mounted the emblems and rear view mirror (kids were really excited about this). I think I will go with the bullet mirror on the left and Raydyot on the right.
