Yeah figure spend as much on steering as I did the motor. Great logic I have. But yeah I had the same feeling when I saw it. ---

Lots of small things getting wrapped up. Vac lines done, TB cable done, plug wires, coolant filled, steering mostly done(although binding a little bit), brakes mostly bled, and started putting some of the front together. Big things left - Shifter install I guess I need to pull the trans pan - Have a driveshaft made - Mount trans cooler under car and make lines - Finish brakes, steering - Wiring, wiring, wiring - Seats/interior - Oil/Trans dipstick - I grabbed the lokar stainless ones(ricer) That is just some of the items hanging out there. Feels close but there is still a ton to do. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2273_zps554b114c.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2273_zps554b114c.jpg) No lie it took a good 12-15 hours for me to get this to work right. I should have bought a new gas pedal but instead converted the car linage to work on the cable. Had bu build brackets, modify everything, blah blah. Buy a new pedal next time. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2269_zpsd19b77a8.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2269_zpsd19b77a8.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2275_zps7368859e.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2275_zps7368859e.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2267_zpsca210530.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMG_2267_zpsca210530.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=26) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-1965-nova-ii-8-85-153-5-turbo-kit-fs/229642.md?page=28)
