Reply to "Wayne's GT5-S rebuild"

Last 20 pictures. Most of the remaining shots are details on specific designs that were fabricated.

The airbox profile seen below created one of the OOOOPS fixed after the box was finished. The mistake was caused primarily do to the fact that the engine compartment was finished before the box was built. What happens is you have to handle everything with built around the finish work with new born tenderness. In the process of building the box and gauge cluster, the 2 were always assembled when the box was instaled and removed the several hundred times during it's construction.

What happened was the cluster would not install with the box on do to the window angle. The fix was to trim the correct angle onto the cluster mounting flaps. It was not a big issue but frankly when I discovered during the last part of the final assembly, the gut wrenching feeling hits and I just wanted to get out my wet glove fan and slap my self silly for missing the obvious.

Here are the results.
