    I am getting really close to seeing the home stretch now!

    I started on all the wiring for the chassis (external and internal). That lead to a new Ignition panel to replace the HVAC controls, as well as refinishing my gauge cluster. I also built the primary distribution panel for all essential engine functions under the dash along with the GTO PCM.
















    ...I also buttoned up the machining on my shifter. I have a B&M Magnum Pro-Stick....the only problem is B&M does not offer a Reverse Pattern Gate (only a forward) for 4spd transmissions. I ended up machining a 3spd forward pattern gate to operate as a 4spd reverse pattern. Works flawless now!

          A subtle warning sign just to make it fair a game for the alert... I like it

              I have been slacking on the updates, but the good news is the car runs and moves under its own power! I have a ton of tuning to do, but I am heading in the right direction at least!

              Here is where I am now...
