Its the little details I focus on the most when looking at my car and others. Something as simple as what kind of bolt was used here, shoulder bolt, hex nut, allen head ect. Or how was the wiring run and finished off.

Love the work and the build.

Default Front Suspension/Brakes/Steering Progress

This weekend is dedicated to getting the remainder of the front suspension, brakes and steering finished. I bolted up the Lee Manufacturing 12:1 quick ratio steering box. This is the same box I had on the car prior to taking apart....again. I painted all the tie rods, center link, etc with Eastwood Spray Gray which has a nice cast metal look. Bolted up the Baer 13" brakes which I was running before. Not exotic, but very effective with the hydroboost set up. Tomorrow the wheels and tires are going back on so I can officially have a rolling chassis. After that the brake lines and fuel lines are next.

Default Recieved Speartech Wiring Harness

I received the Speartech wiring harness today. It uses the E-38 computer and the pedal assembly for the DBW throttle body. I asked John to build it with the upgraded black mesh loom which looks terrific. I plan to start installation this weekend.
