Last engine connection made.
Now to focus on getting the interior all together.

Are you planning on having the engine running before the show or just drop it off the trailer and push it around where needed?

I’ll have it running with a startup tune but it will be in engine break in mode anyway for a while so wont be seeing big boost or power till dyno tuning. After the engine has some time on it.

What a pain this was…This dash project feels like a build of it’s on.

That looks fantastic, and a massive PITA... I don't need that on my build.

How heavy of a machine does it require to do the stitching?

Need a commerical/industrial grade specifically setup for leather work.

Its in. I could have painted a car with all the hrs I have in this dash project. Had to remake the metal dash frame to go around the cage but since I had to…I went ahead and made the dash/frame tie to the car and cage.

I got the carbon fiber custom center bezel and matching shifter bezel made.
Just sanding and clearing at this point until its perfection. Dont know if I’ll be done with by show time and Im not rushing.

Steering setup is done. All connected. Steering wheel will go back on after seats are back in
Initial Alignment and bumpsteer is set. Caster/camber set to -1.5 as usual.

He still has to make the leather covers for the rollbar

Either that or you'll have to enter/exit wearing a bunny suit

Already there. No bunny suit needed

 

[Noobz347]

That's a great choice. It looks [way] better than that yellow

 

[95steedamustang]

Nice and tight fit. Getting that headliner in around a 10 pt cage was really fun. Lol!

 

[Noobz347]

It's getting close.

If it doesn't have a name, might I suggest a naming thread?
