No progress to report. Nothing has happened since pretty much the time the snow hit. With the moderating trend in temps, I can see another work day in the near future.

We are thinking about buying a few more parts so we'll have some things to work with once we get out there again. Exhaust, radiator, pulleys, etc.

Warm weather has us back on the car full bore!!!
Front of the motor is assembled and waiting for radiator and gauges to be started.
Global West SFC are in and ready to be welded. Cool 2nd gen G-Braces are mocked up. Wiring is run to the rear mounted battery and exhaust should be here this week. LOTS to do yet

[WMCCjames]

Looking good guys!! Sorry I couldn't join you, had to work

[WMCC Doug]

when's the next time you're planning on working on it?

We don't have another "scheduled" day yet, but I am trying to work on it every day that I can. .............. I will be planning to work on it again Saturday, so we might as well call it another "official" work day. If you are available, and anyone else, for that matter, plan on starting around 10am or so.

It's coming along very nicely, but there is still plenty of work to do.

[phoenix_rising]

Awesome! That car is going to be amazing!

[Xelerator]

Way Cool, I like the the G-braces too! How do you guys like the fit of the Global West Sub Frame connectors? Keep us posted, can't wait to see it in person.

Hi Derek,

AcesHigh, over on NastyZ28, arranged a Group Purchase on the G-Braces. Of course, we can't mount them until we are instaling the front sheet metal.

We were very impressed on how well the Global West SFC's fit. Very nice!

I expect the Pypes Exhaust system this week. We went with the cross flow muffler, w/x-pipe, stainless steel setup. There should be ample ground clearence with this system.

Looks like we're going to need to lower the rear suspension too, as it's just not settling at all.

I am very happy with how the chrome brackets and pullyes are cleaning up after sitting around for 20+ years. They looked pretty nasty. We made an interesting discovery. It turns out that GoJo hand cleaner is the best chrome cleaner we're ever tried. Simply amazing!
