Today I built the switch panel below the instrument panel. The red flag is the master battery kill switch - might be handy in a kit car. To the right of it is a 12 volt accessory socket. There are three toggle switches to control the ignition system, fuel pump and cooling fan override. A good friend cut out the switch panel from .067" alluminum at his machine shop; it turned out very nice. It also serves to stiffen up the dash which otherwise has very little support along the bottom. Eventually the top of the transmission tunnel will receive black carpet but I plan to leave the switch panel bare.
I installed the mufflers last weekend. Took a few hours working by myself. Kym came out later to sign off on my work. She says it'll do.
Dad came over to help install the windshield. I really needed his help. Its a two person job requiring extensive patience. As we drilled the holes in the supports the chrome started peeling off. After a week of disscussions with Factory Five they have agreed to replace the supports. We should have new supports by mid June. So, for now, the windshield is back in the box.
So, whats next? I don't know, maybe the doors and hood. We'll just have to see what I feel like tomorrow.

Amy, Looks great; if only I could be so organized; our Mufflersis a jumble. You have inspired me to tackle the project! I just have to get everyone else to stick to the system instead of "piling it on"...
