Single-issue update this time. Still building out the center console and floor (spoiler alert…seats are the next four issues).

Been a hot minute without an update. Starting to put the interior/cockpit together. Doesn’t look like much yet, but the devil is in the details, and this thing has PLENTY of details!

Mounting the fuel tank and building the trunk compartment

Finishing the wiring and mounting the Mobile Crime Computer in the trunk. This brings it to the halfway point; 60 down, 60 to go

Boring stuff, but important to the final product. Installing the guts of the electronics and yes…there’s a remote!

It’s REALLY looking like an actual vehicle now. Affixing the rear deck plate, resonators, and wheelwells.

Radiator and air filter

Second verse, same as the first…or something like that. I toldja that there would be three more individual issues just for one tire…and here they are!

Not much to see here…just putting the mufflers together for later assembly

The beginnings of the exhaust system

Grouped all of these together because they simply put the tire on the rim and mounted it to the rear axel. Three issues that COULD have been one, but oh no, THAT would have taken money out of Fanhome’s pocket! 😉

Obviously False Face got to my last numbered post and erroneously identified it as issue 39. That was 38. The real 39 attaches the rear inner brake disks and strings the brakeline. I hate stringing wire/cable/hoses with that little tiny rubber tube…and pay no attention to the squirrelly way the hose runs under the chassis…that’ll be fixed in a later step

Again, not much to this step…just setting the seat pan in place.

Setting the floorpan. The…METAL…floorpan. Holy crap this thing is gonna be HEAVY

Assembling and attaching the driveshaft

Assembling the steering gearbox and attaching it to the frame and previously installed front suspension and steering mechanics

Bolting the rear suspension onto the frame

Building most of the rear suspension. Next up, attaching it to the frame.

Building out the back-end of the frame. Almost caught up to where I am real-time!
