Re: 57 Chevy Wagon - Californa Dreamin'

Spent the better part of the day getting the Dakota Digital cruise set up. Ended up mounting the control unit on the passenger side inner fender. I'll have to see how hot it gets since it's only about 4" from the headers at the closest point. May have to build an aluminum heat shield. There weren't a lot of options for placement. I was hoping to route the cable next to the throttle cable, but there was no way to make it work right. I tried flipping the bracket over and adjusting the bracket position, but to no avail. So I shuffled over to the mill and whittled out a bracket that positions the cable in a more advantageous spot. Still have to do the wiring.

We went to the World of Wheels AutoRama yesterday which gave my motivation a little boost. The Magic Dragon cruise down at the Lake of the Ozarks is the first week in May. It will be a stretch to get it running and tested by then, but I work better with a deadline.
