Sorry about the leg. I broke a femur in July of 22. Still recovering. Hope your recovery is rapid and complete.

Another video on my channel. This one is basically what's required to finish the project and some of the thoughts behind my decisions moving forward with the build.

Hey guys, it has been a while!

I have 2 new videos for you. It's explained in the videos but basically I built a big trolley so I can keep the car lifted up high so it's easier to work on and can be pushed back in the corner at the end of the day.

Part 1.



Part 2.

I will have a full video soon detailing the whole fabrication process of the passenger side front pushrod suspension.

Here is a YouTube short for now.

Some photos for you guys. Over the weekend I put the engine back in for the first time since building the new firewall and finishing the front suspension.

Everything fits perfectly just how I planned it. The next job will be getting the steering linkages and EPAS mounted, including the steering column. I will be mounting the seat and pedalbox at the same time as they all relate to each other and my driving position.
