No reverse speedometer?
Nope. That was in the original gauge package from FFR. I'm not a fan of those. I've always liked the racing look similar to the Autometer gauges.
Great day in the garage today. I glued the vinyl on my dash and installed all the gauges and switches. Since my kit is almost 20 years old the backing had started to peel off the vinyl. I took a risk and pulled it off. I think it turned out pretty good.
Now onto wiring things up.
Now onto wiring things up.
Spent the weekend wiring up my dashboard. Switches, gauges and interior lights are pretty much done. It's coming along very nicely. It certainly is a rats nest of wiring I will need to organize. Next will be electronic power steering from 520 Speedworks and seat heaters.
Spent some time in the garage today working on the Cobra and watching the crazy Lions game. Unbelievable how that game went!
Anyway I got the wiring behind the dash cleaned up. It fits much better against the 3/4" tube. I also got the electric power steering from 520 Speedworks mocked up. I'll spend some time next weekend welding things up. Then I will work on that wiring.
Waiting on Black Friday for a decent parts order. Mostly drivetrain stuff like clutch, flywheel, bellhousing, transmission etc...

Well I had a little help around today so I had the boys and the boss help me organize the storage unit in preparation for the chassis. I ordered lots of Black Friday parts like wheels, bellhousing, flywheel, clutch, TKX transmission and a few other odds and ends. I managed to save about $1,000 today with the sales. That feels good!
Well Santa (FedEx) came early so I have my tires mounted and the car will go into storage tomorrow. I need my garage space back for my truck, 2012 2500 Ram Cummins. These Midwest winters play heck with it. Boy it wasn't happy this morning at 0F even with the block heater plugged in.
I will continue to procure parts for my spring push. My goal is to have a drivable car next summer.

I picked up some Valvoline Synchromesh today for the TKX in the Cobra. I took the snowblower off the tractor Monday (70F!) just in time for us to get more snow tomorrow and Monday. I hope not too much. I'm itching to bring the car back home in early April. I need to move my youngest March 28th then game on! My Smeding Performance 427SBF should be here in the next 2 weeks. Getting excited to start the build again.
