More...

Here's the voltage regulator FINALLY installed properly.  Notice capacitor and ground strap bolted w/capacitor bolt.

How it was before...wrong.  Notice ground strap at bottom right (incorrect)

Incorrect (before photo)

"Tire Pressure" sticker in glovebox...this was wrong.  Correct one is in judging guide.  Order up!

Knocking off items...

Rubber boot on alternator was wrong (left) - correct one on right

Installed.

Up on the race ramps...

I thought the judges were incorrect re: excessive grease, but they weren't??

More grease??

All I can figure, is all the bouncing on the trailer caused the grease  to squirt out of the seals

Inner hood rain drip rail was on wrong and is actually incorrect

Had to remove the hood grill as well...

Noticed the side pipe cover bracket wasn't connected correctly.  Huh.

Fixed it.

Gotta talk to Mike Z. about the wheel weight deducts

Fuel door latch screw - this one was incorrect.

Here's the one from the previous door - need to confirm this one is correct.

Some minor paint touch-ups on the alternator bracket

Post-Arizona...the work begins

Alternator is correct, but was installed 90 degrees off

Should look more like this one...

We removed it, unbolted it, rotated and correctly installed it.

Anti-roll bar brackets s/b black



Removed 'em

Sprayed 'em


Reinstalled 'em

Rear window molding had popped off during trailering from AZ

Got it back in place

Should have some over-spray on the hood pin h/w
