The location of the starter panel isn't that much of a reach for the shortest person I've had sit in the car, but Russ is shorter still... we have already made a few adjustments to the panel to allow easier access to the switch terminals.

Last night Glen, Kupper, and Rich went to the shop and started knocking out the wiring harness. Kupper also plumbed the fuel system, so we now have the carb connected to the fuel cell! The fuel pump is also wired in. I continued to work on the seat mounting, and Russ will be happy to know that we mercifully raised the seat a full inch from where it was in the previous photographs. Rich also brought the steering wheel by, which looks to be either a 290 or 310mm Momo Corsa, which is very tiny. Wheel will be amazing for ingress/egress but I imagine the reduced size will make the car a bit more exhausting to drive around the paddock.

Harnesses also came from the internets yesterday and I also have a cheapo universal throttle linkage ready to install to the carb next time I'm at the shop. Due to some parts availability, first crankover might be delayed another week... but the happy news is that the car mechanically and electrically will be 100% there. Drop in said parts and vroom, we should be ready to tune and paint.

Kupper had a bunch of these filters he used to sell for the 02 kicking around.

They are universal, so I needed to cut out the base to fit the carb.

Rich Vijeh at the shop! He was surprised by some of our "engineering solutions," to put it kindly. 

Libations helped. 

...as did the craft services table. 

I believe this was the first completed circuit in the interior? A lighted gauge!

In installed filter housing. 

The modified seat bracket... this is now the 2" bracket...

Partially wired cockpit... 

Kupper took the time to adjust the valve lashing. 

I caught Jimmy in this picture. Can you spot him?

That's it for now.
