Surprised to see what appears to be a steel exhaust not of the stainless variety. You getting cheap at the end of the build? Lol Mostly running out of time . Aluminized works well if you keep it clean. I was going to tig up a 304 system but just don't have the time. this should last me several years and is honestly going to be a nice layout to model after when I eventually tig up a stainless setup . I've been down into the column that far before, but it's been some time back. Probably a couple of hours to carefully disassemble and get it repaired correctly. Going to use red Loctite and torque to spec. I also replaced the turn and wiper switches and installed a NOS cruise control turn signal/wiper lever. I removed the OE style cruise control connector and replaced it with a 4 pin Deatsch connector to connect to the LS PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside of the doors and around the speaker have been completely dynamated. The dynaliner is a 1/8” closed cell barrier just used behind the door panel. The door panels themselves are 3/16” birch with a foam layer followed by the vinyl. They are quiet as a Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted Thursday at 02:29 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:29 AM Huge amounts of progress. Engine is running excellent. Was able to move under its own power finally. Need to plumb the brakes still but that should be quite straightforward. Interior electrical is about 90% finished now. All my gauges are working perfectly. Once I finish this project I’ll post up details of how things are setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
