Gone very far to the Dark Side

I put the 435's diffuser & black chrome tips on this morning so the 435 is done, back to the Cobra. Will start on the ECU & other control electronics install, not my favorite thing.

Taking the body down to Whitby's this week to get it painted. Expect it will disappear for a few months.

One good thing is they have their own chassis to do the mockup & fitting on so I can continue to work on mine. If the timing is good the body will be done about the time the chassis is finished.

Then its trimming & final detailing.

Somemore progress today. Put in the driver & passenger floor panels & the transmissionconsole. Quite a bit of trimming to get the panel around the handbrake pull.

Also added the small console I built for extra switches, vent pulls, radio & a speaker set. The top of the main console & the total small console will be padded & covered to match the dashboard.Also was able to get additional switch bezels to match the ones I used on the dash for the lower console. They are from a '67 Bronco.

Speakers will also be going into the two panels that sit under the doors. Car is loud so trying to keep all the music upfront. My grandson want a big sub in the back wall of the cockpit.
