In the last 2 days since the Timeline post, I’ve heard back from Axis and Corky Bell. \u00a0Corky says the manifold is done and he’s starting on the intercooler and radiator later this week. \u00a0Axis just finished the hood, which is 4.7 lbs, and sealed a deal with an\u00a0upholstery\u00a0guy to make the seats, which will be done in a couple weeks. \u00a0Suddenly things are looking up.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I swapped the seat in the KLiata to get it back to stock seats and seatbelts, and hence I’ve stolen the harness bar and 4-point harness out of there to put in the SSM car. \u00a0I ordered a new 5 point camlock harness to go with it for when the seats arrive, and will decide whether to use the boss frog harness bar, have Doug fabricate a new one, or simply bolt them to the rear deck.<\/p>\n
Today, I finished the wiring harnesses. \u00a0I’ve stripped out the dash and interior of the car, and I’ve been going through the dash and rear harnesses, removing everything allowed (radio, speakers, etc.) \u00a0The car is now on jackstands, fluids drained, and my dad’s going to come over and help me pull the motor tomorrow night, along with the front end and the rest of the interior.<\/p>\n
From there, I can put the new front harness in, followed by the motor and the changed interior, and start teething the EMS\/motor combo while Corky finishes the supercharger setup. \u00a0This will give me a couple weeks to try to get everything in the car running naturally aspirated before the rest of the setup arrives. \u00a0From there, I can add the transmission, rear end, and supercharger as things show up, and it’s entirely possible I’ll have a car, albeit sans aero, ready in time for the beginning of the season. \u00a0I’m suddenly pretty excited about this, and worried that I’m going to be limited by my free time, not by parts arrivals, over the next couple weeks here…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
