Well, I am on a deadline now with the first kid showing up this summer but I am finally starting to make some progress. I got all my parts back from the powdercoaters and the platers (gold zinc) as well as a set of Mueller's rollerbearings and I started the transmission assembly. Check out the pics:

915 Transmission Rebuild (Thanks Hayden @ WEVO). I am also getting a one piece bearing retainer, WEVO gate-shift, and 1st gear assymetrical update:

Here are all the gold zinc plated parts:

I have been waiting for a good day to take some pictures of the powdercoated parts in the sun, but it has been overcast. The color is called steel grey metallic and has a clear coat on it:

I also installed a set of Mueller's rollerbearings. Only need a little phone support from Mike (Thanks Mike (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) )

Here are the rear control arms with the bearings installed (don't tell the wife I had them in the oven). I also installed the mono-balls from Smart Racing and starting putting the e-brake assembly back together:

How is this for the ultimate pedal assembly? Bronze bushings, powdercoated, and zinc plated. Looks awesome:

Here is the money shot, I think the color looks awesome:

Next steps:
1. Install the suspension.
2. Plumb up the brakes.
3. Finish the turbo piping
4. Get it together!!
