Really starting to come together! Are you planning the Watkins event as your first for the year or will you try to get it on track before then?

I'm not even planning on watkins at this point. I've been slammed at work and got a lot of house projects going on right now: lawn, deck, stamped concrete patio, and I've still got a flow of side work. I'm not stressing myself out with trying to get it done just to rush out there for 3 days, I want to shake it down at an auto-X or two first.

Got a couple hours to work on the car tonight, I got the dash wiring harness in, and dash/cluster/buttons back in the car and ready to go.

This is a high quality baffle, I wish I had seen one before I put in the one in that I did. The metal is much thinker that most baffles I have seen.

The instructions for the baffle said "preheat oil pan before welding to help prevent cracking"

I don't weld aluminum, not yet anyways, I have a machine just haven't had the time to learn. A buddy of mine has a fab shop and does my aluminum welding
