Alot of people have been asking me if I will be turning the car in to a full out race car this year to accomplish some of my goals? Actually I'm going to try to make the car more streetable, and instead of taking out the interior and stripping the car I'm redoing the whole interior using a 7 stage professional dying system. I'm also updating the stock fabric door panels to leather, and replacing the old grey sun roof head liners with a non sun roof headliner and dying it also On the mechanical side I plan on adding an idle air control motor which I have been running without for the last 4 years. This should help the car on cold starts on E85.

Modifed my JMF block off plate to accept a AN fitting via a 1/2" NPT. Milled the hole, then machined a fitting to fit and tig'd the fitting into place

Yep. standard modern lathes are really nice to run. I recently aquired a steady rest and taper attachment for mine too. pretty hard to find stuff
I have been doing machine work instead of car stuff for about 5 years or so.
Just in the middle of retrofitting a series 1 boss8 bridgeport with new controls. should be a sweet machine when its done
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.

Found another grey silver headliner for a non sunroof and am switching it out for my sunroof headliner in my car. I dyed the headliner black should look alot better then the old one.
