Do you have any links to that roadster project you had going? I thought it was posted somewhere else in the thread but I can't seem to find it

Which Roadster project are you referring to? I have a lot of projects going on, so I will need to know just a bit more info... LOL

Transformer Photobomb.. LOL That car needs a good home if you know anyone looking for an interesting project.. It does run and drive, and it actually have 3500 miles on it, but it sat around since the early 80's, so the interior needs some help..

I was pretty sure of myself

I thought you were also building a p1800, or maybe I'm confusing yours with another build

Ah.. Project Changling, I was confused by the Roadster part.. LOL

Here is a link to one of the last updates on that one.. I also have 3 other customer build P1800's that I am working on or getting started on, not that the basic components and procedures have been sorted with the Volvo X build.

Here is a video of the Eagles Canyon Raceway, and I think it will do the trick for setup and testing..

I am working with the some new factory door panels and my Upper Door top mod for the now larger oem style dash, and it all looks pretty good. The window crank does not have to rotate because I have power windows, and I have a conversion switch to turn the oem window crank into a bump switch, so if you bump it up or down the window will go the corresponding direction.

I don't plan on keeping this interior in the car, but I figured I would put something in the car until I can let loose of it long enough to put a full Retro/Custom red leather interior in the car.

The dash is temporarily painted until it can get leather wrapped, so I cant wait to break up some of that extreme silver dash..

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

I have gotten the Custom Headlamps and Mirrors all wired up, and I think that it really cleaned the car up a bit.. I had removed the bulky Park/Turn lamp from the lower front of the fender, and then moved the turn signal ambers to the lower headlight and door mirrors, and added some LED Daytime Running lights to the headlamps..

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

I am working on the Go Pro placement for the track day, so I did a couple of test video's of some Spirited Driving. LOL It may seem that I am been pretty aggressive with the car, but I am not actually pushing it to its full potential in these video's, because I don't want any major tickets.. LOL

Toward the middle of this first video, I do press the car just a bit, and the car bites the pavement way harder than I actually expected on street tires, and when the horsepower is supplied, the car stays very stable and straight.. I have had some high horsepower light weight cars in the past, and the ass end will tend to get away from you when you apply the power, but this setup doesn't need any wrangling at all..
