Reply to "Lane's Beck Super Coupe #3"

Latest update from the eager Mr. Hines:

  • Mike has been under your dash and in your engine bay most of this week, finishing up your wiring.
  • We pulled the intake of off your motor and are modifying the coolant crossover.  It needed to be about 1-2” shorter simply for an easier coolant hose path.
  • We also replicated the 356C bottom tunnel cover (metal with diamond pattern bends) which really isn’t important, but the diamonds add strength and I thought it was nicer than just a flat panel.
  • Your doors are on one of the benches also, windows and motors are going in and we’re sorting issues with the window frames.
I won’t be as bold to say the car will not have any issues, but we’re really putting everything through its paces and trying to get as much sorted as humanly possible based on feedback from my car's testing.  I've already improved several systems in the car and while it is taking FOREVER I know you’ll be happy with the results. (I'm sure I will, Carey.)
BTW, not sure if I mentioned it previously, but before the snow hit Randy and I were out racing around and his 3.6L powered 914-6 couldn’t shake me 0-xxx . Around xxx he started pulling me and we both gave up xxx-ish but it was clear he was faster on the big end, but man he was shocked that I was all over him down low.  :-) (This was in the 1st prototype Coupe on what I am sure must have been a closed course with all safety precautions taken )
Uh, you might want to be careful with your phrasing (...all over him down low) around Fincher, @chines1.  You know how he is.
