GBOLT Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Happy Thanksgiving Weekend, It has been a while since I updated my car photos, here is where I am at. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wow, nice se7en. I love your wiring. Makes my wiring look like a rat's nest. Are you bringing intake air in from the cockpit? If so isn't that going to be a bit noisy? Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Damn fine wiring job, Glenn! Great progress. I second the notion that she'll be a little noisy with the intake taking air from the cockpit. Not that it's a bad thing because I happened to like noise.

GBOLT Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Intake is not that bad considering the exhaust is 20 inches away. GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookwheel Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Wow! That is beautiful! X2 on the wiring too! What wheels are those? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBOLT Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi Scott, The wheels are Pacer 107p, I saw them used on #24. Plus the wife liked them. I drove Mark Scott's car with the intake located in the cabin in a similar fashion, and did not notice any noise issue. Time will tell. Glad you to have most of the wiring behind me. One thing I should have done prior to powder coating was weld or braze a few chassis ground lugs on the car. Would have made things much simpler. Thanks for the thumbs up on the wiring, I really worked hard not to have a spaghetti bowl. If nothing else, I know were every wire goes if I have to trouble shoot.

DeanG Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 When do you think you can take the first drive? Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBOLT Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Dean, Most likely will not be till spring. Weather is starting to turn here, so I will take my time. I plan to get it inspected and titled over the winter. I have enjoyed the build, but am at a point where I now want to drive it. If it drags on too long I may have a friend take it and finish it up for me. Every time I seem to get on a roll, life gets in the way. The kids are anxious to be taken to school in it, and attend some local car shows. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
