well havent done too much the last couple of months... still dealing with wiring.. or I should say avoiding it.. but everytime I head out to the shop it hasnt done itself... hahaha so to give myself a little inspiration to keep moving forward I thew the wheels on it and pushed her outside for a looksie at how she sits... I did make a bracket to support the monster tacho (should work)

Designed and made a little cable bracket for the FD accelerator cable..

Not bad for under an hrs work in solidworks, on the flowjet and a manual drill press..

Those coolant hoses are looking pretty sweet aye. I bet that was satisfying having the throttle cable bracket work out well! :D

sadly I havent touched the wiring for about 2-3months... it is soooo frustrating... and discouraging... so I havent tried to dive in myself.. Im fine with designing, making, welding, fabricating.. but wiring just stumps me.. I get a mental constipation happening when I try to go to far into it.. hahaha

If I had a bunch of cash Id trailer it to a shop and have them get it to the point of engine bay wiring and firing it up level... then... I can move on to other stuff... it is all pretty much waiting on the wiring to be knocked out....
