    Brakes are complete, steering rack is in, pedal box is complete including custom throttle stop and modified pedal. The headers are at the powder coater. Wiring is next!

    Henry,
    Things are looking great. What's your reasoning behind the throttle stop?

    Thanks for the update. Len

    Thanks Len,

    The Coyote pedals have been know to break if you mash them. I have replaced more than one pedal for that very reason (not mine of course :>)).

    Sorry it's been so long since an update. I am working the wiring now. Computer is set as well as Coyote and Ron Francis fuse boxes. Also have P/S pump and AC compressor mounted. Reservoirs mounted and steering shaft mounted.

    Thx,

    Henry

    Thanks Paul and congratulations. The build is a blast. I'll be watching yours. My only regret is my other job keeps getting in the way

    You need to talk to your boss about some time off. Hopefully that will go better for you than it does for me---of course it's a well known fact that my boss is a horses a$$

    Congrats on getting your Coupe Gringo. You need both 1/8 and 3/16" clecos. Mostly 1/8 but a few (10 or less) 3/16 help out..

    Is it me, a picture angle, or does the Passenger side of the engine sit higher than the driver side?

    Nah, it's a combination of the angle and the intake cover is not all the way down. There is a bunch of wires on that side that I have since culled. I'll post some more pictures this weekend. I have done quite a bit since those pics. I am very very close to first start.

    Thx,

    Henry

    With a nod to Happy Gilmore... "Nah, it's because you only have one shoe on!"

    Sorry, I had to.

    To be serious though, I think it is an optical illusion.

    Regards,

    First start today. I'll get a video on this week. I know I have been delinquent in posting but work keeps getting in the way. All the interior aluminum is in but one piece and the rear hatch and battery trap door is in. Wiring is close but dash is at powder coater and should be back this week. Ready to go cart once I put the brake fluid in and bleed the brakes. Hard to keep up with Erik Treves but trying. I have to admit I am a little gun shy because of the recent blown Coyotes But I bought the 2015 adapter which allows me to put the filter on the block so I should be OK...

    Thx,

    Henry
