With the days ticking away and No Name Nationals slowly creeping up from the distance I figured it would be a good idea to see about getting steering in the car, you know, one of the last major hurdles needed to be sorted out before proper reassembly and detail work can begin. Gotta sort out the issues and all right.
So, as I normally do, I looked at a ton of parts online to figure out what the good options were, what was in my budget, and how to make it all work the way I wanted it to. After plenty of rummaging about the interwebs I got my parts list sorted and ordered, parts in hand I was ready to start getting this fitted up and figure out what new issues I might have.
This is the first time I've done any work in the cabin of the car since I have owned it, and quickly realized it could you a little cleanup before I get started on the new parts . . . let's just say that "a little cleanup" quickly turned into an archeological dig inside the car. Once I got the parts out that were being stored in the car, the amount of trash and dirt I found under the nasty carpet was . . . well, let's just say it's a good thing I decided to look under the carpet now, because we now have more work on the list that I wasn't expecting.
But hey, that's all part of the fun. We are still making the push for No Name Nationals, and I'm fairly confident for now that we should be able to have this car ready to rip in Sikeston come September, we just can't sleep on some of these issues. Going to be a long summer to get this thing ironed out.
