Turbo Mark VII Time

Figured that I'd knock out some work today so, here are the mid evening update. The column support is out, the main harness is about ready to be fully pulled out of the car and, the parking brake assembly is gone for good.

Parking brake cable is dying to get out of there.

The quicker, more pleasant way of taking the wiring out of a car.

It's starting to look like a welcoming home to a Mustang dash.

The car was a really nice color before the last owner made it flat black.

Lots of waxy goodness ( I knew I kept this garbage wax for a reason).

Well, for a first attempt at a large panel mold, i don't think its too terrible. There is a lot of room for improvement but, not horribly terrible.

I must have done something right, it fits with out the metal deck lid under it.



Now, its time to take what I learn from what I did wrong and do it for real with carbon.

I started to order stuff again, last week my motor plate stuff came in from Skinny Kid, this week a bunch of stuff from Rhodes Race Cars should be here. The goal is to have all the chassis work done by fall. Leaving the drive-line and fuel system for the winter/spring.

Started cleaning up the engine bay, there will be filler panels made for the firewall and then everything will be blasted, sealed and painted.

I'm going to, just need to get a day that it isn't so tropical out to start making a glass or carbon one. Though, I am not sure how to make lighter weight mounts.
