Mac's Car Refresh

Th

It would have been cheaper, easier and a lot faster had I just sold it and bought something else. But I do love this car like none other.

This is my issue / I wanna do the same thing after this season.....Tweak a few things and start over and make it like brand new !

In the end it will be worth it! GREAT JOB Mac ! I have a very special decal to add when its completed.

After all the work I'm putting into this and then find a sticker on it? Dude, I'd probably knife you.

That is the plan.

What started out as a "refresh" has become an entire REBUILD. It's going to be a completely new car when it hits the sand next time.

Nice work. Looks bad azz!!!

Does it rhyme with " Mac is gay"??

If I was you, I would put a sticker of a duck on it.

That will be the hood ornament

It doesn't like like much but it's come a long way. Wiring is coming along and should get completed soon.

Oil lines and coolant lines are done.

Looking good Mac. Proud of you for digging in and doing this. You can stand back when it's all done and be proud of yourself.

@Mac Nice job buddy!
Holy cow what an undertaking

I expected more perfection out of you.
No seriously it’s looking bad ass.

 

[FOG]

Your car is looking awesome and the attention to detail is incredible.
I wish I had your patience!

Don't forget that it needs oil.

I have tags on the engine and trans for a reason!

Just finished up the engine harness and will start laying out the computer harness and start terminating tomorrow.

 

[Mac]

Didn't get everything done I had planned for today but got side tracked and needed to clean the workspace up a bit.

Mounted the relays and started terminating some of the components. Ran the computer harness to see how it will be routed and where my pull off points will be. Fabbed my new exhaust and blow off tube. Just need to find a TIG guy here in Havasu. Mounted front brake lines.

Tomorrow will be more harness work.

Here is a Pic of what the wiring used to be... This rat's nest has bugged me since I bought the car. It will finally be gone and have the Mac stamp of approval.

Wiring is coming out nice!
