I’ve been a bit busy with work and some house related chores so the build progress has been minimal. I’ve decided to have the steering rack shortened by a shop that does such work and is familiar with the process. That will mean shipping the rack to and from the mainland once I pick the appropriate machine shop.
\nAs of yet, I haven’t found that vendor.
\nA lot of the build decisions hinges on the placement of the motor, and that will be determined by the placement of the steering rack, so this is a critical step. Once I have it shortened, I’ll be able to create the mount points to attach it to the frame.
\nOther parts have been trickling in, such as LED tailights from Speedway Motors.

Once the clutch is replaced in the other convertible, all will be good, leaving more build time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
