Fitting the dash and saving weight

Tonight, Dan tackled a fun task- Fitting the dashboard. The rollcage was built with the dash removed, and the only way to fit it back in was to cut it into two parts. We deliberated for a while about where the best place would be, and then Dan went to town with the sawzall. We still have some work to put it back together, though.





Dan also spent some time using a spot-weld cutter to remove unneeded chunks of metal (like the big heavy brackets needed to mount the rear seats and seatbelts.




I spent the night installing the driveline, rear axles, and straightening suspension link.s The car now has a complete drivetrain... except for the motor.


Next on the agenda is to run all the brake lines and start thinking about electrical.
