The Build ~ November - December 2011
December 2011~ Wrapping up the 292 install

  • Brought the car to Mayeda Motorsports:
    • exhaust work
      • exhaust hangers replaced
      • added lapjoint clamps
      • reworked some of the poor welds
        • most welds weren't repairable - too much welding on joints already (brittle)
          • Exhaust will need to be redone at some point
    • suspension work
  • 'Stereo':
    • finished installation
    • searching for early '60s tissue dispenser to house amp & other components

November 2011~ Stereo and other troubleshooting
292 Nova
  • 'Stereo' install:
    • setup does not include a head unit. Plan to use the following:
      • small (marine) 4 channel amp
      • PAC LC1 Remote Amplifier Level Controller
      • iSimple IS75 PolyWire Universal iPod/iPhone/Aux Interface Cable
        • allows charging and connection with one cable
    • fabricated mounting plate for amp and volume control - to be placed inside glove box area
    • troubleshooting amp problems - only getting audio from channels 1 & 2 (4 channel amp)
  • Misc:
    • removed starter to tighten oil pans bolts
    • modified oil breather
      • was leaking oil onto top surface of vavle cover
      • bent 'tabs' on bottom of breather - much tighter fit
    • fabricated transmision cart - to create more free space in the garage
    • swapped out battery for one with black top (instead of bright yellow)
