Ah well...life just got in the way. I should be starting this project shortly, after some unexpected health issues, that had me hospitalized for a few days.
Blower is sitting on the garage floor, ready for me, when I am ready for it!
Getting anxious.

Sure is purdy!

Glad to hear the health issues are working out. Health is definitely the most important thing.

Gauges, and Gauge pod ordered.
Cant be boosted, without a boost gauge. Fuel pressure is a must, as well!
The gauges I like, are white face, so I had to get a new white face kit for the other gauges, as well.
The fuel pressure is electric...cant have fuel inside a street car.
I will start the project next week, picking off the smaller facets of the job, and then I will do the supercharger over the weekend of April 25,26, & 27.
That is the plan, anyway.

What do you think.
Leave the gauge bezel black, paint it to match the dark charcoal interior, or get it wrapped in a carbon fiber vinyl?
Let me know!

Upon opening the package, they sent me the wrong boost gauge, but this one will work.
I am not sure I like the color of the paint I used, but we will see. I can always change it.
Anyway, project not necessarily done, so I will call it "pending".

Took another step in getting the S/C build underway, by installing the heat exchanger.
Very straight forward, and all parts included, including fasteners.
I am already liking this kit!

All wires are run where they need to be, not hooked up yet, though...Boost-a-Pump installed, and wires run...all gauges ready to connect.
Thursday for tear down, Friday continue tear down, and install the blower...Saturday for details, wiring, and adding fluids, then hope to fire it off.
Sunday, is set aside to just drive!!!!
