I'm curious as to what the red bar on the bottom of the tach gauge panel is for.

Its to let me know the e-brake is on, he also built green ones in for my turn signals. I haven't tested it yet but I believe my brother also set it up so the backlight on the tach flashes red as you approach the redline.

That is pretty darn cool! Can't wait to see it working with the car out on the road!

Well made some progress and got the front end mostly disassembled this morning. The intercooler piping is out and the core support and fenders are just about out. Gonna call around Monday to price powder coating and sandblasting to see if I want to expedite the process and powder coat or have it sandblasted and paint it all myself. I'm gonna have the fenders sandblasted regardless.

Here's where I stopped today....

Found a couple engine bay picks from when I started 2 years ago. Making progress slowly but surely.
