Hey Don. You're holding out on us here........
I know Bill, but sometimes I feel like a post-ho.......like I put up this stuff on too many forums too many times. But if you insist............
Dan and I put in a VERY long weekend on his car. He was off Friday, Sat, and Sun, so we could stay late every night. We love working during the cool morning hours and get so much more done. We left the shop at 3 AM Friday, then at 7 AM Saturday and 6 AM Sunday. Ask me how wiped out I am.........but we did get a lot done.
First thing we tackled was finishing up the drivers side subframe. It was a little trickier than the passenger side because we had to allow room for his shift linkage. Luckily, his new Gennie shifter showed up in time to install it so we didn't have to guess about how much room we needed. The shifter is pretty cool, and he bought a Gennie because the handle comes off all the way, unlike the Lokars we have. It makes getting the body on and off so much easier.
Next we worked on installing the Kugel Komponents master cylinder and pedal assembly. This is one of the 90 degree ones that tuck up under the dash and are totally hidden. We made a 3/16 inch thick steel plate to mount it to the firewall with, to spread the load, and will make some braces to tie it into the dash support.
Finally, we added two more crossmembers to the subframe and built brackets to mount his bomber seats. Not a bunch of progress, but it sure took a lot of hours to do it all correctly. Here are some pictures of where we left off.
