    How is your wrist and elbow holding up form all the drilling?
    I drilled over 400 spot welds for new 1/4’s , and floors and had several days when needed for muscle recovery !
    Excellent work
    I'm great thank you for asking.

    Custom yellow Glasurit safety stripe. Harness back in some assembly still required.

    That yellow didn't last long. Sanded off and repainted. The pallas lights are in a gold metallic.

    Getting the harness back in place ( least favorite task)

    Bought a good 930 4 speed with LSD and some race gears from a nice guy from Kentucky. Party on!

    Note: this is an all steel S-T, even the fenders. I've been getting questions about fiberglass..

    Old progress pics, further along.
    Next up:
    HVAV to install (ugh) then steering rack and it's on to Rebel 935suspension installation which I'll savor.

    Bought a 4 speed with LSD and race gears.

    I'm done watching the news and being stressed. My first set of 7&9 x 15 reproduction wheels that'll go on this car. They look great. Good weekend.
    Going with my new 7x15s ET23 up front.

    I mounted tires to my wheels.

    I was going to run Minilites at the rear as I love the look until I pulled them out of the box (25 lbs) I'm aware they weren't always this heavy..my flow formed rears (9s) weigh 16 lbs 11 oz. Fronts (7s) weigh 14 lbs 11 oz.

    They balanced up nice.

    Steering rack is greased / turbo tie rods and ready to install.


    I found damage to the HVAC assembly plastic that needed repairs so tomorrow I'll try and get that back into place

    930 transaxle being shortened and shortened (27mm) input shaft case hardened.

    Sorry been busy, a lot of progress since my last post.

    So the 930 box I bought turned out to look PERFECT inside with race gearing that is more close ratio once you get the 1,5:1 first rolling.

    3rd gear is the only stock ratio along with the final drive which has LSD.

    A set of my 16s with modern Toyo tires to keep the miles off the TBs and compare handling characteristics.

    I'm welding the 930 bell and will reassemble it this week.

    The body is looking good, glass is cleaned, bumpers and other panels are ready for installation. 930 motor is down at Bob Russo's shop and Billy Boat is making up our big full width intercooler. I'm looking forward to weighing this when Bob and I set up the suspension.
