Baby steps

I ending up spending about half the day cleaning up after all the other projects.  It was starting to look like a disaster area.  There is a mound of stuff in the tarp tent that keeps growing.  It’s kind of an issue.  Enough complaining, on to the race car.

Since we aren’t using the stock dash, the steering column lost its mount location.  Nick is making one up here.  It’s great that we are doing this as we can recenter the wheel a little and fix the driving position.

I spent most of the time getting everything organized and ready to be finished.  Lots of parts runs.  I plugged away at the engine.  Solved a dozen or so wire and hose mysteries.

This is going to be an issue.  When we took out the air pump, we also took out half of the belts for water pump and fan.  We need to find some way to get more engagement on that pully.

This whole front area is still a disaster.  I’d really like to simplify this whole area.  We only need 20% of this harness.  Cleaning it up could be very time consuming and any issues could prevent making our testing track day on the 21rst.  I think I will just have to leave this for another day.

The windshield is preped and ready to go in.  We just need to finish everything that has to be done that requires it to be out.

That’s it for today.  I have at least two helpers for all day tomorrow.  I think it’s actually possible we could get it started!
