This week saw me finish tightening the header bolts and connecting the battery cables to their final location on the starter motor. I also connected the grounding strap to the frame and got a good continuity test from the battery end of the cable to many different spots on the frame. Thus the main ground is good. I also tidied up the transmission lines that will eventually run to the oil cooler at the front of the car. Oh, and I also found another big spot where I missed rustproofing.
I spent some time thinking about what else should be done more easily now than after I put the cockpit into its final position. It is another case of over-thinking things and not getting real progress made. So rather than figure out how exactly to run the transmission oil cooler lines, the neutral safety switch, etc., I have decided to go ahead and put the cockpit in place this coming week. Even if it makes it harder to do future things, I want to keep making progess, and the cockpit will be major, allowing me to proceed on the engine bay, the wiring, the steering, the brakes, etc.
I did figure out a way to get the front end of the car up in the air a little higher, maybe an inch or so. That should make working under the car a tiny bit better. No pictures this week, but next should be exciting if the cockpit gets done.
