Finally, some progress to report. After several delays and vacations, the car is almost ready for the first drive. Engine tune is complete, the 4-wheel alignment and corner balancing is done, shift linkage and clutch adjustments are finished.

I am hoping it's just a few small details remaining.
1. Finish up door panels with GT door pulls 2. Install shoulder harness mounts on rear firewall 3. Repair driver's seat slider so seat moves all the way back 4. Install rear and side view mirrors 5. Apply paint protection 6. Install and wire two pole oil pressure sensor to gauge idiot light 7. Eliminate 3rd outlet on GT style muffler 8. Drive the car make any needed adjustments to clutch, shifter or engine tune. 9. Insure and register the car |

Hi Tom
Good to hear from you. Yes, it has been a long and interesting journey. I am working on insurance and registration so that I will be all ready for some late autumn driving. |

QUOTE(mate914 @ Oct 10 2025, 08:28 AM) How does it sound? It really hasn’t been on the road yet. During the start up and 20 minute break run, the engine sounded great at 2000 RPM. But it’s yet to be revved and driven. Hopefully in the next several days. |
