Doug, sounds like you are going to town.......  |
Jeff, You just bolted the harnesses to the bulkheads? You think that'll hold up OK to impact? I was thinking about that, but using a large plate behind the bulkhead to spread the load and keep the bolt from pulling through. If I do the roll bar scenario, it'll be in the trunk where no one will see it. Thoughts?
And yes, come hell or high water I want to drive this sucker this Summer. The chassis is detailed, the rear suspension is rebuilt, detailed and installed in the chassis, the front suspension should be installed in the next week or two, the fuel and brake lines are next, the fuel tank sending unit goes to Nick next week to have a bigger pickup installed, and the side pipes go to him as well for Classic Chambered mufflers and ceramic coating, and that should be about it for the chassis. The body gets delivered all painted up in early January, the Ron Francis harness is in the mail as we speak, and so are the pin drive wheels.
I'll get the body all assembled and wired and have the pedal box installed while I wait for the engine to be delivered, delivery is promised for February 14. I should have the drive train installed by the end of February, Body on and everything bolted together by the end of March. I'll sort out the bugs and get the interior installed in April (I'm sure there will be MANY bugs to sort out), and hopefully I'll be driving by late April, early May! About darn time, don't you think?
When are you dropping that FE into yours?
Get busy, Nick! Gas pedal assy., sidepipes, gas sending unit, etc.....no pressure, buddy!
