Tim's Type 65 Build - Cockpit Wiring Finished?

[PNWTim]

Well, I suppose it's official. I ordered my kit today with a completion date of 11/27. I was originally going to wait until mid-year next year in the hopes of acquiring a 30th Anniversary version (no that's not announced, just my wishful thinking) but when Dave announced the over-inventory end of year discount + free powder coating to the first 20 orders + guaranteed price increase Jan 1, I decided to pull the trigger. I guess they weren't kidding when they were talking about inventory capacity since my kit will be ready to go 2 months from now. I had also intended to pick my kit up but considering the time of year and no Santa's Sleigh to whisk me there and back I have decided to leave shipment and delivery to the pros.

In the tradition of most of the build threads here is a quick rundown of what I am planning, subject to multiple changes, budget overruns, duplicate parts and the usual project adjustments.

- Type 65 Complete Kit
- Gen 4 Coyote (unless I'm mistaken both single ,Gen4X and dual TB, Gen4 versions are available)
- Up in the air on Control Pack or Terminator X
- T-56
- IRS with Torsen 3.73 center section
- QA1 shocks on all four corners
- EPAS electric steering
- Air Conditioning
- 19" Forged wheels of some kind
- Wilwood brakes front and rear
- Aftermarket seats TBD
- Possible electronic dash or not. On the fence on this one.

I guess these are the basics and subject to some change. There are so many great build threads in this community, both coupe and roadster with a lot of cross pollination available from both. I will of course lean heavily on Paul's build taking many of his proven changes as automatics (Howe Racing, Moog, etc.). I am in no hurry to complete since my kit is essentially arriving 9 months earlier than I was planning and I love the planning, shopping, fitting, building and tinkering as much as the driving.

Anyhow, I have some garage prep to do as well as other to do's prior to kit arrival so will check back in as updates occur.
