    I can’t imagine how great this car is going to feel sliding around corners.

    I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

    clutch adjusted. Fluids changed. A bit of wiring on the engine tomorrow. Doing as much as we can. All the little bits add up

    Good call on the phenolic spacers.  Will make for easier hot starts.  Not sure why these motors like to boil the gas in the bowl, but they do.

    pat got the rear end all dialed. Ready for wheels and tires in the rear.

    some wiring got done in the engine compartment and a fluids change was performed.

    we brainstormed interior layout tonight. Nav, trip meter, fire extinguishers, hydration system, horn, fuel pump switch, door panels, storage, etc. coming along!

    I didn’t say much about catching the car on fire in January while I was welding cage gussets under the dash. 🔥 ☹️

    The welding paper/masking tape caught on fire under the headlight switch wiring. It looked wose than it was….

    ….I was able to replace a pig tail and do some soldering to repair the wiring today. Good to have that fixed.
