Getting closer to being a real chump...

So its been a couple weeks since I've posted an update. But don't think work hasn't been going on. A little time over at Caztek's shop got my new steering column all situated. Then Jeff and I spent some time getting the column located and braced up. What you see here is the finished product, with the new fancy suede steering wheel on.


It is a removable wheel, with a nice Longacre quick release. Here we also have the new "dash" panel mocked up. Pon came over and helped get that done. Saturday we should get the new panels made up, and hopefully start getting some of the new switches wired up. We should also have the new heater box, so we can hook up the defroster. Then we just need to tuck away the wiring and tie things up for the race. The muffler is back installed. We gave up trying to get the Y-pipe off until we have more time. So for now the catalyst material stays put.


And Jeff started work on smoothing out the door entry point to make getting in and out with the door closed easier(ie loading the car on the trailer). That was of course until we ran out of welding gas. On to our third bottle. Tune in after the weekend, some more work should get done soon.


Also, I thought I'd share that those damnedable cottonwood trees that almost ruined our fancy paint job last spring, are officially firewood.
