And the Megajolt is ordered! Woot! Also ordered the LED cluster for the shift light.
Who knew that a cheap little car designed for the masses at the whim of an evil dictator could be so very cool more than 6 decades later?

Got back from Arizona Friday night and checked the mail, 3 boxes for me, yay!  One had my Megajolt ECU (thing is tiny!), and a big old light cluster for a shift light that must be clost to an inch across, be hard to miss that thing!  Also got a different style of sensor to go on my fan shroud.

How is it coming along?

I think I am going to be starting a thread soon, I just got a donor car for pan and metal repair/replacement but might just use the new car and part out the old one to save a million hours of work. Haven't decided yet!

Peter, I need to get those air filter parts to you. 

Once I can get my heads, I will be putting the motor in the car...

Anyone have any experience doing headliners?
