Oh I'm not sure, our spring and summer is pretty booked up. We have a 2 week Italy trip where you can get further head!

For now I have just been going out to the garage after my daughter goes to bed and before I am too tired to go to work in the morning. Really pushing to wrap things up this summer.

Simply amazing and awesome.

If I were doing a resto mod'ish cool driver I'd follow this almost to a T .... including the yellow.

Progress has been slow lately but I am spooling back up a little sprint on work for the next few weeks.

I managed to get a $250 set of Aeromotive fuel rails off of an Amazon price dip for $95. Unfortunately they come in a horrid anodized red, which would screw up my feng shui! I picked up some new injectors and treated the rails to a coat of gunmetal grey to help blend in a little better. Along with that, I have kicked off the fuel system by mocking up the TanksInc tank in the car. The JakeFab puck is close, but appears to fit under the floor.

I have some basic lines made up to the filter/regulator and will work on a rollover vent mount as well. The 6AN fuel line routes along the passenger rail [previous post] and witin the subframe connector. That was made possible by some very early planning when things went together, so far it seems to be just right.




I also finished up the installation of my Hotchkis rear sway bar, I needed to weld on the chassis mounts for it. I wanted to make sure my line routing accounted for all of those parts back there.



That's all for now!

I am creeping up on a fully wired and validated electrical system, which is a pretty big milestone for me. I can talk to the Megasquirt and load tunes, make changes and test some of the systems.

Hopefully these videos work:


Tach test

Coil test

Injector test [all, sequential injection]

Edit: Cuda Cody to fix links so those play.
