Good progress this weekend

Completed mounting and drilling the driver's side footwell. Started on the passenger side as well. Broke all my drill bits, so had to stop... Also picked up the bearings for the front end so I can mount the front brakes. Had to go to 3 stores and 2 trips to get 4 bearings.... arghhh.

Took the brake pedal to a machine shop over the weekend to get it shortened to work with the manual brakes. Will pick it up today. Also the clutch quadrant kit should arrive today as well. With the brake pedal and clutch quadrant kit, I should be able to reassemble the pedal box together and install.

Box 1A is empty!!!

Well, I've finished the first box of parts!!! The front suspension is done and the steering column has been mocked up. I've taken the steering back apart so I can remove the driver's engine panel to paint it. Next items to work on:
drill all rivet holes for the engine bay panels
paint the panels - I'm using a ceramic insulating paint from LizardSkin.
rebuild the rear axle - I purchased the 3.73 rear gears today. That is the last thing I needed to rebuild the rearend.
Install the pedal cluster - brake pedal is being shortened to use without brake booster. Also ordered a new clutch quadrant/cable/adjuster from Steeda.

Making Progress on Front Suspension

Completed assembly of the front passenger and part of the driver suspension. Waiting on strut bolts from Breeze Automotive to come in for final assembly. Will move on to mounting steering rack. The 2 body panels mounted behind the suspension were painted with POR-15. Came out pretty good, considering I had to do them twice....
