Lots of little bits of plumbing progress

Engine start Friday if I can get my cooling system done. All the oil lines are cleaned out and all has been removed and the extra brackets painted up. Diff cooler plumbing is coming along.

Body work is slow and I’ve got some panels out for powdercoating so I’m now officially a bit behind my August rollout schedule.

Oh well it was a soft timeline anyhow. This is supposed to be a shakedown year getting prepped for 2017 enduro racing. I’ll still be okay to get my testing done and Maybe run a race or two.

Plumbing takes awhile. It looks easy in the video's on making up stainless lines.

With right equipment fabbing the lines is not too bad, it’s seeing the need, ordering and then waiting for all the AN fittings that slows progress to a crawl.

Next bay over from where we’re doing fab work on my coupe in my buddy’s shop....

Mclaren Can Am car! It’s fun looking that thing over for inspiration on my “little” racer.

...Okay two bays I don’t really see the thunderbird when I’m in there.

I love the old CanAm cars. Heart pounders.

It’s craaaazy fast. I haven’t driven it yet but probably will have a lap or two one it’s done being restored. (An easy lap or two)

Your Z motor has turned into a drama queen.

Seriously. lol.

I’ve taken up meditating to help not loose my patience on this one.

All I will say is, bad as it is, it’s still not as frustrating as my ex wife.
