It’s on, Canuck!!!
 I’m pretty sure people would pay to see us toil around town!!! Man that Charger is sweet!!!Off on another trip. Steering wheel should be done next week when I’m back so I can get the car outside for some good pics. The 8-Track seems to be another saga  More to come!!! Cheers Dave

Now that the engine break-in is done, it's clutch and shifter adjustment time!
 What I like to do it to fly around the corners at break-neck speed, banging gears all the way!  But, in this case, I just kinda drove around.  I'll get on it after I get all the adjustments made. I WAGed the alignment, and actually got it pretty darn close. The steering wheel came out exactly how I wanted it. Only thing I'm missing is my 8-Track. That's a whole 'nudder thread.... Yes, there are a few more tweaks: rocker moldings painted, custom backup light delete plates, center spokes painted a tad darker. But overall, it's about done!  Very very happy with the sound of just the resonators through the exhaust. Here's a quick video and a photo shoot today! Enjoy!! Cheers  Dave

Ha! No....not yet. But their will be soon!
 That "Little Pieces" is a replica of what Max Balchowski wrote on tape and then struck on the tach so McQueen knew where to keep the needle away from or else there would be "little pieces" all over the set! the Hero Car has the residue on there still. I found some NOS masking tape and a "survivor" Bic pen from 1968 to replicate this exact feature! But the tape was one big ball of glue, and the pen was all dried up, so I just used new stuff instead.  More to come....but not much more since it is just about done! But I at least have to have some more driving footage....maybe even an interview/drive-a-long and in-car camera footage with a well known celebrity! Who will that be? Oh.....details soon. Cheers Dave PS: please PM me for ideas and leads with car celebrities since I really don't know any
