July 17, 2005 - delays,
delays,delays.
Since we did not make the GRM 2K5 challenge in
Florida this year and it would appear that the contest next year will
not be until October, Chris and I have both been side tracked.
The latest thing to take up 99% of my free time is Her
She was born on June 3, 2005 weighing 7 lbs. 6 ozs. From April
until the time she was born, I was getting the house ready for her
including painting rooms, finishing the ceilings and any other honey do
my wife needed done since she was unable to. More pictures of the
little one can be found here.
Chris has been otherwise occupied with another hobby of his and has
been working hard at this.
Back to the car, I would like to get it running on its own by the
end of the month, but will be satisfied if it is done by the end of
August. That will give us over a year to test and tune it.
There will still be quite a few things that
will need to be done, but it will be a start. From there, we will
need to get the belt on the alternator and the fans connected to the
radiator. After that will be fitting the hood since we have added
a few challenges to that with the addition of a new HEI distributer
that is
several inches taller due to an electrical gremlin (Not the AMC) that
was in the ignition module on the Mustang.
Pictures will be posted as soon as it runs.
