I have found a graphic to put on the car to pay homage to the car's name. What do you think?

This is what is glued to the seat just under the headrest.

The fuel cell is mounted and the line is run thru the firewall.
The seat back is back in and secured.
And I have the wiring run from the dash area back to the engine area.

Here is the Tinman that I had painted on the front cowl.
Thanks Mom.

The transaxle has been put back on (temporarily) and the rear brakes have been removed for cleaning and rebuilding.

I have been battling a broken stud for a little while now. It is one of the bottom studs that attach the trans axle to the the engine. I need to pick up a heli coil kit in order to continue. Other then that, family obligations have slowed the progress quite a bit. But I am still chugging along.


After several months of nothing some progress. I have ordered and recieved a new throw out bearing arm and install hardware from Moore Parts Source which will be going on soon.



After even more time I am still working on one engine stud that was sheared off even with the case. It is quite a pain to drill out, but I do have the studs from Monster Fastener to put back in once I do get this done.
