I got the engine compartment painted and was a little harder then expected. There are a lot of different profiles and had some issues getting the HVLP gun adjusted. Finally got things where I wanted them and am satisfied with the results. I feel like I learned quite a bit and am ready to tackle the rest of the car. I did go with white for the paint and have some ideas for the final design. No hints, you will just have to wait and see.
I finished the Ford wiring harness modifications and got it installed in the car. I need to get all the wiring cleaned up and then the motor is ready to go in.
I finished up the breaks for now. I went with a basic break upgrade from Goodwin Racing and will do for awhile until I can afford a big break kit. The Goodwin kit came with 4 Brembo slotted rotors, stainless break lines and some performance break pads.
I finally got my transmission and rear end in and was part of my delay. These are two big items I have been saving for. I went with a Tremic T5 World Class transmission with Steeda short throw shifter and the rear end is a 7.5" Ford with 3.27 gears and Ford Racing limited slip. The whole rear end was rebuild and had the limited slip installed. I was able to get the rear end install today but still need to the half shafts off to the shop to be built.
Once I get the wiring sorted and cleaned up, I will be dropping in the motor, install the flywheel, clutch and then the trans. There is still some more wiring inside the car that needs to be done and then she is ready to start. I will keep everyone posted.
