Today was a monumental moment, my one brake fitting was mounted. Brakes and clutch were bled, and I was on my way. Next time I'll have my wife turn the iPhone on its side... Here are a few more pics for good measure:   Things that I've noticed that need to be fixed: Upper radiator hose is leaking a little bit (will order new one) Reblead the brakes as they are a little soft. . . The clutch needs to be adjusted a little Other than that, the few laps around the neighborhood were a success. |

I was a little jerky on the clutch (need to adjust) and because of that would rip wheel a little, this results in a giggly wife. I have no clue on the body work. I'm waiting on the new version from Exomotive. I'm hoping they give preferntial treatment to those that have theirs done, vs those that are not yet finished. As for the color I'm going with RAL 9010 which is as close to championship white that I can get. Once I grow tired of that color I plan to wrap it in a flat green color. Something simiilar to this:  |

I've been keeping track of everything for my time. If I didn't have to redo the brake lines and clutch line, this would have saved a few hours. I also rounded up to the nearest 1/4 hour to keep things simple in my sheet. I also should note that when I bought the car some of the dash and interior was removed, which simplified the process.  |

What model / width seat did you elect to go with from Corbeau? Went with FX1 pros. I had to shoe horn them in but they fit like a glove. WOW! Inspirational for sure! Congrats on your amazing ride.... Do you think the FX1 or even the FX1 wide will fit? |

I think the fx1 would be a tight fit. If you are shorter, and you can move the seat closer to the wheel then it may be okay... The FX1 wide won't fit at all. |

The truth is I will do whatever it takes to get into one of these. When I started this madness I had a 54" waist, now that I am down to 42" getting to 38" seems pretty darn easy from my perspective. Besides the other benefit, EVERY pound makes the car faster and faster  |
