Where to start, I ask myself because the car is built and I've shared some of my build on other thread's. I'm doing it because there is so much I haven't shared (don't think for a moment I didn't hear you screams of NO!! in the background) and I would like to put it in all in one place. Much will be new and some old but expanded. I'm sure I'll bore many to death but I hope some will find it interesting.
In the beginning (no this is not the Bible) I started by taking much of the car apart trying to understand how it went together. I spent a couple of weeks taking pictures of everything and felling like a proctologist sticking a borescope in places I maybe shouldn't have but I learned a lot.
I'm going to start with sound and heat insulation which has been a topic of conversation on a few other threads. As my goal has always been to build a road car I felt adding 100+ pounds to the car to make it more streetable was well worth it.
To prove my point I recently took the car on a two week 3000+ mile trip from Northern Idaho to Monterey, L.A., San Diego and back. As many of you know the worst thing that happened was running over a dead dear.
The car is very comfortable to drive on a long trip, I did however miss cruise control as there isn't much room to move your legs around and keep the blood flowing. And then the Butler killed the woman with the candlestick in the bedroom. Good to know you're still with me.
The first picture is the car the day I picked it up at the dealership. the other pictures are of me before and after the build.
