The tape is for all the trim to stay put while the butyl tape dries.
 
Well after the long wait I get a car back that is far from finished! I had to break her free from shop jail. Still lots to do but I’m taking charge this time. She will get done!

Unbelievable with some of these shops. Probably charged you a fortune already I bet.

Actually it wasn’t too bad, he was cheaper than most, but it was just too much waiting. He had to many projects and not enough help….

I reckon you've made the right decision. If you're mechanically handy you'll be able to do just as good a job as them, and you'll have fun along the way. Pay yourself even a tenth of what you were paying the shop and you'll have a nice bundle of cash at the end too (even though technically it's your money to start with).
I bet you could have that finished in a month or two now you're running the show.

Is the guy also getting up in age? If I put in a good day working, the next day I will be moving kinda slow....if at all.
 
He had guys doing all the work. Just him sinking the ship on his own. Lol
 
Some updates for y’all. Slow and steady over here! Fixed up the trans x member. Installed my short throw shifter unit. Picked up a strange S60 and got all the bars installed. Installed my wilwood binders. Going to try and use the factory console with the shifter. Has anyone done this with a 6 speed swap?

Things… reso installed and mocking up dash. Thinking about running the Holley pro dash. But man it’s big, my pro max iPhone is in there for reference, it will be cut down for sure.

Really glad you went with the Dana and not the 9 in. Car looks outstanding. I plan to do a similar rear suspension on my challenger. You will really like the holley system. If you haven't bought your digi dash yet, get with me and I can probably save you some money on it.
I bet I'm almost as excited about your car getting finished as you are! Thanks for updating this. Keep it coming.
