The weather is so good that I am pushed to work on the roadster. Today I was wiring the rear lights and finding appropriate locations for the ISIS powercell. Just like in the front, I had an initial preferred position but changed that to a hidden position in a fabricated box underneath the trunk deck. I also got some LED lights to act as backup lights for reverse.
When I started the project (I can barely remember it was so long ago) I thought that the assembly manual would help quite a bit. I was wrong, but I am not the first person to discover this. I also thought that each step would be logical and would have been done in a specific order by others before me. The more I do, the more I realize how "custom" this process really is. Each car built by an individual has something different and the way things fit together and the order they fit together also varies. So I am just winging it and I have stopped looking at the books.
So, my immediate goal is to trial fit the body sometime in the next week or two to make sure clearances are OK. Then complete the interior aluminum and start some body work and fitment. Wish me luck...I am going to need it.
