Don, it's been awhile. Any updates on the photo's that have been previously asked for? (dash install, door sills before carpet install etc.)

Hawkeye,i spoke with Don last week and he said he will put more pictures but he's busy,busy,you have to be patient like me. I want to see some dash wiring routing as well door latches,windshield fitting,etc. I'm waiting on my headers to trial fit my sidepipes,last week i forgot i didn't have them and i riveted my D/S floor,ooops ! Good luck with your project.

Michel

Donald do you have some pictures of the dash wiring from the back and how you installed your dash,the seats installed in relation to the body,my seat is pretty crooked in relation to my steering,those seats seem to be bigger and if i try to move them to the left,i will be over the big beam which prevent me from installing the bolts,bla,bla,bla.....
This has been dead for a while....pictures,pictures...please,thank you.

Michel, I know you said Donald is busy but I would have thouht there would have been some updated pictures by now. It's been months since we have heard from him.

Hawkeye i'm still checking once in a while but no pictures. I would like too to see more pictures since Donald didn't have a build manual which makes that project even more challenging for a first time builder. I don't know how many times i had to remove stuff because i didn't figure out the order on how to put the parts together. It's hard to figure out sometimes and it's time consuming. I bought the FFR book before i started and tried to follow it a bit but it's a different kit,sheet metal doesn't fit the same. Next time i talk to Donald i'll ask him. How far are you in your build ? Mine is going slow 'cause i want to make sure before i put something on. I made my second big mistake already so it's easy to F... it up when you don't have guidelines. The good thing though is that Donald is always there when i call him,and he said that i can call him anytime if i have issues which i will. Yeah,more pictures would be nice,good luck !

Michel, my build is going slow as well for alot of reasons, mainly this is suppose to be a hobby and takes a lower priority to many things (see my picture gallery). My status is all but the "F' panels are now in permanently, fuel lines to the engine bay, all brake lines are done, E-brake and cables done as well as the main battery cables to the engine bay are complete. I am in the prosess of cleaning up a few loose ends like the gas cable to the pedals and the plumbing from the resevoirs to the masters and then the nightmare of wiring starts. I am hoping to have this thing running by Nov. subject to my work out of town, time will tell.
On another note I had a bit of a shock today as I had someone come buy and give me a quote on paint. Now it did include doing all the mould seams, putting a small bevel on the wheel wells and finishing it with sand and polish plus a few minor other things. His estimate was about $10 to $12 K. I don't know if that is good or not.
Your right about Don he is always available by phone but as they say a picture is worth 1000 words.
