So the gauge's are off to Livorsi to be restored. That took a bit longer then I expected to properly label all the correct colored wires in the gauges. Sure hope I made a good enough diagram to put them back it correctly!

Well it rained today so no work for me!!

Got the carpet finished, the new back seat installed & fastened down. Mounted the battery, charge, & phone charger outlet mounted under the seat. came out very clean!

Also got the engines pulled out & delivered to the engine builder!! can't wait to get them on the dyno & see what they really have!!

Hope to start de-rigging, cleaning & painting the engine compartment soon!!

Finally got a nice day to power wash a little.

3/4 gallon of Purple Power cleaner & 2-1/2 hours power washing its a little cleaner, let the sanding begin!

Default Update:

Replaced all the wood behind the walls & wrapped with new pad & vinyl. The rest is being done by a professional upholstery shop.

Waiting on Livorsi for gauges, controls & seats.

Both engines are at the machine shop!!

you're even lucky it fits in between the lift post !

nice project! Do you really get the gauges ''restored'' or just buying new ones?
