Project Countach

 Did a little bit of this and that this month. Mostly, I've been working on installing a new pellet stove in my Garage, which meant tearing out old crap and installing new crap. Kind of a PITA on the clearances to walls, but you can't beat $1 a day to heat the garage with easy start and shut off. I needed to put in a new outlet, but that is par for the course in this house anyway, so I took the opportunity to add a new one. On the car itself, I routed wires and finally bought all hardware adapters for the brake lines. I installed the EFI control module and located the fuel tank at the front. I am currently trying to think of were to put the radiator I have. The plan originally was to buy new tanks and cooling system, but I switched to trying to use what I already have first, at least to get the car running and moving. Later I can swap it all out if I want to. These first pics are from when I permanently bolted the rear suspension assembly to the frame right at the new year.    

 I thought these would be fun to post. Just some pics I found and digitized.   Me sitting inside KITT at Universal Studios early 1980's   Me in my second car, a 1976 Chevy Nova   My fourth car sitting in the driveway, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird   Learning how to rebuild an engine in my Dad's driveway. I just realized I still have that hammer with the yellow handle!   My buddy Ethan helped me out in taking the engine apart. He also helped me during start up and we both discovered the joys of a distributor installed 180 degrees off. There's that hammer again.   This is the Firebird after it's paint job. This was around 2000 after I quit the body shop, but went back for this after the paint arrived. No hammer in this pic.
