Blinker indicators relocated



-Working- Hazards



And where my GPS speedometer sensor is going to be mounted. I'm going to notch the vent piece where the wire exits, and with the fender welting I plan on using should make for a clean install.....hopefully. :laugh:

Getting there. Making progress every day.






Also bought some new shop lighting. Sam's Club was selling these for $34 a piece. For that kind of money, I couldn't afford not to. I ended up with six. And to those who have bore witness to the terrible lighting (and subsequent pictures) that my garage provides, hopefully you'll notice a difference. I sure do.



Impromptu shot - you can actually see the true color of the car. Definitely the brightest the shop has ever been.



Between the wood stove and now the lights, damn - the shop is becoming quite the nice work space. At least compared to how it was....

Had an ice storm last night. Lost power right before I could post yesterday's update.

More fiddling after composites duty.


90% of the wiring has been tucked out of the way. One more day should finish that up.








notched.

It's going to be one hell of a pay off when you get to drive this thing

I dont understand how he has this much patience. This thing would have been sold or rolled into storage to never be seen again if I were in his shoes.

I wish i had half of his patience.

Tell me about it... Challenger has been sitting for 4 months in my main warehouse collecting dust (and probably forklift paint) because I refuse to put a new rear end in it and then not be able to race it until march. It'll be a last second deal like everything else I do when it comes to hobby projects.

Here's hoping :) I honestly forget that it's even a car sometimes.

The only way to be able to do it like I am is to not go wanting. You need to just take your time, and the car will be done when it's done. And when it's done, it'll be RIGHT*.


*hopefully :D


Did a little chopping. Mounted the lens for my relocated high beam indicator. Sweet.
