2 months to go...

Another slow update on our slow progress… the steering rack is in, no more slop in the steering! We were able to drop a good bit of weight out of the car by removing the stock (HEAVY) exhaust, and a majority of the AC system. As you can imagine, the car is a bit loud without any exhaust. We’ll be fabbing up some sort of exhaust out of scrap parts, it probably won’t quiet the car down too much!

The radiator was leaking so we ordered up a new aluminum radiator, see pictures below. We mocked up the mounting brackets for the radiator out of some scrap steel and we’ll get those welded together this week. Once that is in, we’ll be able to drive the car again!

We also found the two mystery bolts that were keeping the dash from coming out of the car. With it removed, we will be able to hopefully smooth it out and cover the cracks caused by years of sun exposure.

We haven’t made too much visible progress and time is quickly becoming an issue… the event is only two months away!!!
