Day 14 & 15 - "theres not a car under a buck 20 in his shop"


Yesterday we finally completed the plumbing of the entire brake after countless trips across the norwood lateral to pick up tiny brake fittings that we needed, but I guess its something you want to do right cause your life is kind of on the line.We also wrestled with the fuel tank and finally got it strapped up to the frame and the correct pick up and sender units installed inside.



This morning we figured out how we were going to plumb the rest of the fuel lines (from the gas tank to the mechanical fuel pump in the front). Then we took a company field trip out to a secret custom car cove located just inside Ross township. We visited Dynamic motorsports, performance engineering, rossien motorsports, and silver stone auto all within 50 yards of each other. The purpose of this trip was to exaimne some ceramic coatings of a company (we now have concluded) to coat our sidepipes. We also checked out some rim and tire sizes on actual superperformence cobras.

When we got back home we bolted on the transmission mount and installed the e brake handle and cables.
Then we cleaned the table so we could find things more easily -- this is post-cleaning

Love reading your blog; glad that you have stayed with it. (writing the blog)
I have a question, do you have to put the engine together or do you just drop it in ????

I plan on coming to the unveiling !
