Chris' 289 FIA build, #8833

[cnutting]

After a successful first start, it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today I turned my attention to finishing off the throttle linkage from Mike Forte and then interior work. I made an adapter for the Kirkey drivers seat to the adjustable seat tracks. Pretty straightforward, one inch wide 1/4" steel bars to tie everything together. Then drilled both seat mounts. There may be some tweaking needed once the body is on, but I have a plan for that if need be.

The last thing was to start on carpeting. The back wall is done and the trans tunnel. I need to get another quart of DAP adhesive. This stuff works well, but the fumes are crazy. Had all the doors open in the garage to vent. Pretty happy with how things are coming out. Hope to finish the rest of the carpet next weekend.
