Vendors suck!

The car may be done for a Sunday run but both it and the tow rig together seem highly unlikely if I even have parts tomorrow. Spencer's rig is available to hog my trailer to the race though, at least there's that!

GBR's weak abused clutch should be off the hook :)

Less progress than I'd hoped for tonight – 97% out for Sunday. New coilover installed,  jam nut with good threads solidly welded to link with completely stripped threads.

Dash trimmed but didn't get to column and shifters as hoped. Nowhere near to tires.

Found a plug on an old Cummins harness for the 3 wire temp sensor so I didn't need to buy that. Oh well. eBay it back I guess

Side work has pretty well dried up now that you mention it.

Hitting this thing Weds night. Planning on dash coverage around orbital, new switches, front diff locktite and drill/tap bottom hole one size up, couple idiot lights, probably not a fan controller (later...)

Thursday harnesses, paint, tin install.

That's been poorly advertised!

I ain't got time to clean a highway, I've got a race! (Drove our stretch last night, it looked like SHIT)
