Progess made

Today was a good day. With winter raging at minus 32 Celcius overnight last week, I have taken to building the instrument cluster and fiddling with interior issues. I picked up my bench seat; after modifying springs from Dodge Caravan with original frame. Very happy with end result.

Also found gauges that fit my instrument cluster; all Ford that I think with work with my EFI setup.

Got my throttle linkage working, modified my hanging brake pedal as well.

Pictures to follow once I locate my camera.

Tom
