I like the look! Did you have to change ride height?

Hey thanks, no ride height change. Bolted them on and that was it.

Hope everyone is doing well and if you live in Nor Cal, staying out of the smoke and heat!

Finally getting some build time in and I have been able to make a little bit more progress...

My dash is covered with the leather hyde I picked up, it is nice to see some fruits from your labor, I spent a lot of hours on the dash and I am pleasantly surprised I cant see anything under the leather! I guess even a blind squirrel can find a nut sometimes :-) The leather hyde quality is exactly what I was hoping for, even smells like a new car... I did make a last minute change and moved the headlight knob to the right side of the speedo. I was afraid of it hitting my hands being around the steering wheel and wanted everything around the wheel to be flat. I also moved the horn button from the left side to under the speedo.

I was also able to come up with a very basic clutch stop, mounted my breeze 1/2" vent line with charcoal canister and mounted the Aeromotive fuel filter. One other highlight was getting my brakes bled out, I now have a car with working brakes!





Clutch stop, simple but functional. Also totally adjustable the rubber stopper can go completely flat against 1/8" alum reinforcement plate if needed (by removing the nut). Can also be adjusted outward approx 1-1/4"




Breeze 1/2" vent line with sprinkler charcoal canister, Aeromotive 10 micron fuel filter

what is the push button under your tach? is that your horn?

Life got real busy last year so I did not do much of anything with my car, only put about 300 miles on it. Car has 5700 miles now, recently I began to not like the wood rimmed steering wheel so I decided to pick up a FFR leather steering wheel. Was able to grab the 12 days of xmas sale from FFR for $99. Only a couple drives with it so far but it's been a nice change from the old school wood rimmed wheel. Definitely more comfortable on the hands when driving.

Nice, I do prefer the leather wheel too. Looks good Travis!
