Got some pieces painted and put together. Also cleaned and lubricated the cable, so now they move better!

I'm thinking of hydro-dipping the bezel. Whatever I do I'm going to match it to the guage cluster. I don't know if I should hydro-dip it with a carbon fiber pattern or wood grain.

Looks awesome, if you don't mind me asking what do the nuts look like that hold heater control bezel in, mine are missing, thanks

Sorry it took so long to reply. I only have one of the original nuts, but will take a picture and post it for you.

Making steady progress here, too. I'll post some project updates before too long. Thanks Adam!

It has been a while since I posted but i have still managed to get work done. Progress has been sloow since I have been busy working.
I will try to get the thread up to date so far.
Even though I patched the holes in the passenger floor i was not totally happy with the work I did. So I completely replaced it.

I repainted and put new bushings in the pedal assembly.

I needed a drivers side inner fender mount, but couldn't find one so I fabricated one.

My engine is finally done!! Just picked it up from the motor builder the other day. It is now at my friends shop where we are going to put it on a run stand and break it in.

Gorgeous! Congratulations Adam!

I can't wait to hear your experience breaking it in. If you can get photos of that, I'd appreciate it - I'm curious to see the setup to break it in on a stand.
