Planning/Stripping
Ok, last night I got back into it, no pictures though,
sorry.
I removed the fuel tank and stripped the sound deadening from the interior. 1
I decided that we are going to run a 10 Gallon-ish fuel cell in the spare tire
well, with the sump mounted such that it hangs out of the rear2 of the well a bit.
My GT35R arrived, but had the wrong exhaust housing on it, so we sent it back.3 We also decided we are
going to be making a new exhaust manifold. The old one I made was
"suckier"4 than
I remembered it being... Plus it gives us a chance to use Don's new, baller ass
header modeling system.5
The next step is going to be to mount the engine and transmission, as well as
cut out the transmission tunnel. While we are welding6 in the new tunnel, I want to take care of the few rust
holes in the chassis...
I'd really like to have someone knowledgeable with bodywork have a look
at it and tell me how this should be addressed.
So if you've got experience with this kind of thing... especially those people
who restore old cars, let me know when you can have a look at it... maybe lend
a hand... It's one of the few things that don and I know very little about.7
I hope to have the motor mounting squared away before the following weekend...
