Today spent time fitting up padding and carpet, and putting seat belts and seats in the car. Still need a little final fit on the carpet and to glue it down, and bolt in the seats, but it's beginning to look like a car. After getting the interior semi-functional, I took the car around the block for the first time. Susan was a good cheerleader and camerawoman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3WVfdkkgos
Still kinks to work out, starting with figuring out what's up with the power steering or lack thereof, but it was nice to make a loop around the block.
This past week I was working on an airbox to make the transition through the firewall. Version 1 met an untimely death on the chop saw along with a saw blade, but no bodily harm. Version 2 took about a quarter the time to get to this stage of prep. Now just need to have a friend weld it up.
