That looks great. Love the dash. Have you had much time to mess around with the race pak? I think I want to run that for my project too. It looks like it will be a blast to drive.
Where is your track day? I saw you have an Iowa plate. I’m over in Omaha. Even if I had a car, our local track is under 10ft of water.

I heard that about your track. I'm on Iowa's east coast (Quad Cities area). I'll be going to Autobahn in May. It's a 3.6 mile course in Joliet, Il. I've been there several times with my other cars, but I think I'll be pretty nervous getting this thing on the track for the first time. I should be able to get plenty of road miles in before then. I have the RacePak hooked into the OBD port. I currently use it to monitor engine parameters, and need to get the speedo working.
I filled the oil cooler and primed the system yesterday. Fired it up and ran the Accusump through a few cycles...no leaks and everything seems to be working well. With cool 15W50 break in Joe Gibbs oil, the Accusump takes a while to prime/discharge.Joe

I guess making all of my own fuel and oil lines has made me a little paranoid! Now I’m looking for a fire suit.

Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it! I had to mount the bottle pull so I could reach it while strapped in to my 5-point.

It was a 4 speed knob that I had no use for, so i sprayed it with Duplicolor bed liner left over form the trunk, interior, wheel wells, etc.

Picked up the next project last week. My painter had a rust free coup sitting in his shed that he was looking to move. He also had a fastback parts car sitting behind the shop. We used the inner roof structure from it along with a bunch of new parts from Kentucky Mustang to do a conversion. It’s gonna have a Ford Performance 500 horse 363 along with a complete coil over system and Watts link from Shaun at Street or Track.
