I have begun putting pictures into an album to show my progress on this build. I hope to post more pictures later this week showing progress from the beginning.

I finally moved my car and workshop to Tucson AZ in early January, 2009, this lets me work on the car much more often than when the kit was in CA and I was in AZ most of the time. Since outfitting the shop work has moved along at a steady pace despite the way it looks in the pictures. Whenever I finish constructing one area of the car I remove those parts and put them on the shelf in one of the storerooms, this allows me better access to continue building.

Currently I am just beginning to drill the chassis to install the Riv-nuts to clamp the wiring into place. Once the wire arrives next week I will be able to run all the leads through the transmission tunnel and finally close up that area of the chassis and install the engine and transmission for the final time. All the parts to connect the cooling system have been ordered, but I still need to design and build a bracket to mount the coolant recovery bottle. The factory attaches this to the fiberglass scuttle, but this requires it to be detached when the scuttle is removed. I am sure I can come up with a better way.
