If i had the whole thing to do over again, instead of white i would have used light grey. However, the blindingly bright white really makes it easier to see everything in lower light conditions. It just sucks to keep clean. It sucks HARD.

happy father's day y'all!

I like the white. Keeps things looking fresh and reflects light onto all of work and fabrication that you've done under this car. But, yeah, cleaning it is going to get old.

I keep forgetting you have the GM V6 In there. I knew it was a six but with ‘Odyssey’ In the subject I keep thinking its a Honda motor..especially since that’s also a thing in Miatas (probs not for Challenge $ though)

You should know by now that I have a plan only on hindsight. Usually I just make it up as i go.

You painted the windshield frame on my car too right?  I didnt know that wasnt factory until someone complimented me.  I gave you props.

Yessir! It was the plan after i forgot to paint it! The satun black windshield surround looks good with a black top.

There were a couple of 12-packs of diet Sundrop left over from a event at work and I was able to get them for free. The old Crawford Family motto is if it's free it's for me

Probably not. However if somebody could make me a sticker that looks like the old Intel Inside sticker only with a Mountain Dew theme I would happily rock it on the back bumper

while angrycorvair is busy being a hand model, i finished up the passengers side and overflow bottle relocation. And washed the windshield with a razor blade and laquer thinner. Really happy with it.

Anyone have a 1/16 npt tap they want to loan me?

I'm really glad the overflow bottle left. Makes a huge difference. 

You know you're going to have to do that cleaning again before October and then again Friday night/Saturday morning, right? laugh

The tap is a really odd size for nitrous nozzle threads. I just cant Justify buying one for a single use.
