Have not been as busy as I'd like to be on the car, but its moving along. After a few test pieces and some measuring I did a CAD model of the the way I want to set up the gauges.
SendCutSend is cutting the insert out of .125" thick 5052 alley and I'll be 3d Printing the gauge pod out of nylon with carbon embedded in it.

Thats a really low resolution pic from the Fusion 360 app on my phone. It's going to attach to the dash frame in most of the stock location using brackets I've yet to draw up.
I'm also glad I took the 225 apart. It was far from being a good engine. I'm currently in the process of rebuilding it.

I know slants never came in that color. So be it.
Ive got the driver's side tub welded in and I'm making up the filler piece where I had to cut some metal from the top of the rear rail. Still trying to figure out what whoever started this mini tub was thinking.

It was bad enough that I had to make a new flange on the outer wheel house rear part just to weld the new tub to.
I dont have a pic, but Im also sketching up a DXF file for a patch panel in the sail panel area. Either water or mouse piss completelt corroded away the area the chroms upper window trim attaches to and it ate away and the inside lower flange on the c pillar area. I'll shoot a finished product on that when its laser cut.
Over and out for now.
