On 1/17, I got back in the garage and finished the dash and engine bay wiring, fabricated and installed the oil pressure and clutch lines and mounted the catch tank.
On 1/24, I returned to the garage and started installing the rear suspension.
On 1/31, I continued working on installing the rearm suspension.
On 2/21, Rich Sheldon came to the garage and helped with a few projects.
Before I left for my business trip to the UP, I finished a few things on the car (over the course of the last few days).
On 4/4, I mounted the shift light, center mirror, windscreen and rear brake lines.
On 5/30, I was back in the garage. I fabricated and mounted the front brake line bulkheads, cleaned and installed the rear firewall, installed the diff and connected the drive shaft.
On 9/1, I was back in action after spending a few weeks moving all of my crap from the garage to the new shop. I fabricated the rear brake lines, mounted the rear calipers, installed the seat belts and mounted the seat.
In November, I had gotten quite a few little things done such as getting the radiator modified, finalized some minor wiring changes, got the valence painted, connecting the last of the plumbing (water, fuel and oil lines), mounted the front suspension cross member and adding a signal wire to the starter. On 11/23, Rob Futcher came over and he helped me get some things finished on the rear suspension. We got the rear sway bar mounted, started the motor and prepped the axle tube for the hubs and calipers.
By late December I was in the final stages of finishing the re-assembly of the car. Items added to the chassis were the axle breather fitting, rear brake line mount, quick disconnect for the fuel pumps, motor breather system (new rocker box), final installation of the rear hubs, brake lines, calipers and axles, final positioning of the suspension control arms (spacer and washer installation).
