The upper line is original.

Aired this baby out today. Sanded interior window trim for paint. Almost ready to go down the road and see what falls off.

That ride is so unique and fun to look at.  It should generate much curiosity at shows and rubbernecking on the road.

I looked under the hood yesterday and found this.

I believe it's about to get full. Have you thought about modifying the engine cover to personalize it to match something about the car?

[UGLY OLDS]

That looks kinda full under there ....BUT I think that it looks GREAT  :!:   I kinda like the engine cover as-is...No garish brand names or emblems...
Were you able to resolve the rear brake issue  :?:
( Stopping comes a close second after "going"..)

To bring everybody up to date on this project here we go. I put the mouldings in to keep the glass from falling out and took a trip down the road. It is stuck in  limp mode. Happy Easter morning. It started out with bogus charges on my credit card, the trans swap I did in a 1938 Chevy 350 to 700r has a no shift problem and I broke another glass in the wagon. The place that built the wiring kit for the Hemi says maybe the shifter is out of adjustment. Says it is really critical because it is feeding info back to the PCM. I haven't tried adjusting it because the hoist is tied up with the 700r trans swap to another 700r. Anyway I'm off to Biloxi on Sunday morning. Need some R and R.

[UGLY OLDS]

Gee Don ..After all that , PLEASE be careful on your trip....
Those all sound like "New Build Glitches"...Every car has them ....Did you resolve your parking brake issue  :?:

Bob...

I believe most of us know what you're feeling. Enjoy the trip.

So I sent all the computers in to Hot Wire Auto on Friday the 12th and they returned last Friday. I was told I had the wrong transmission control module. I bought what I was told to at the beginning of this build. Now it's not right? $125.00 for a controller and the computers shipped to me and the only change is now I have full throttle. Scan tool says it has no output for the vehicle speed.  I had 29 mph before the computers went back. They had me jump pins around in the ABS module and that just kept my scanner from linking up. I returned to the original configuration and the scanner links again. It still tells me it can't find the ABS controller.
I'm getting Pi#$ed now.

I understand, Don. Most of what I do, I attempt to find a way to do it all myself so I'm only mad at me. I hope somebody at Hotwire takes it upon their selves to fix this so you can get on with it. Whenever a company flipflops on their recommendations, it destroys faith rapidly.
