Been a long time since I posted, but progress has been happening the whole time...life is just busy and I literally dont have time...Also not too happy about photobucket changing up and screwing up my photos on my post!! oh well, I have all of my pics in google, and you can go through them all in order to see progress from beginning to now...
Updates since last time:
decided to scrap the wood/fiberglass floor pan and rebuilt in steel plate...also had to make major revisions to the firewall in order to use the factory plastic box that houses the AC/heating unit.
Connected the shifter
installed steering column
manipulated firewall to push brake pedal out to allow room for feet...
gas pedal/brake pedal installed
Engine parts/sensors, and all wiring harnesses are in place
purchased fuel tank and has all connections ready
got new carbon fiber steering wheel with bat emblem
bat license plate frames
bat floor mats
to come:
going to get a custom radiator/AC condensor soon...then start the engine up for the first time....HUGE step
inquired about 30 cals...going to get them in spring time
trip to highway patrol for their requirements for road legalness
dash set up
camera install

Love the steering wheel. Change to steel foot well is a good idea, I'm sure you will be happy you did it.

Great to see that you can work on it occasionally. Summer is here, keep some beer in the cave.
The will to act.
