While I’ve had it for a while now, here’s some pictures of the F440 “as it arrived”:

For the record, the side panel you see on there, isn’t actually attached yet (notice there’s no rivets in it).  At the time of this picture, I was jus trying to make sense of all of the various aluminum panels which came with the car.

As it sits now, I’ve now gotten all of the aluminum panels riveted to the frame.  For the most part, they were a simple “bolt-on”, although a few (such as the firewall) have required some cutting to fit.  I’ve also got the new motor bolted into the car.  I should be reattaching the side pods either tonight, or some time soon.

This leaves the remaining major components as:

1) Installing the radiators and cooling system.  I’ve got two radiators for the car, but am not quite sure on the mounting of them yet, nor the routing of the coolant lines or an overflow tank.

2) Installing a fuel system.  The car came with two small fuel cells which would be perfect, except they’re both very aged and very cracked.  I’m looking for a small fuel tank which I can fit under one of the side pods (~8″ vertical height).  I’m currently winning an ebay auction for a 1 gallon 6″x6″x6″ fuel cell for a very reasonable price.  Being that the car is carbureted, it should be pretty easy to hook up the tank once I get it.

3) Wiring: yeah – all of it needs to be done.  I also need to source a battery (although I can run it without one)

4) Driveline misc – I plan on running pre-mix in the car, which means I can disable the oil injection system.  I just need to figure out how to do that.  I’ll also need to install and properly tension drive belts.

Once the above is done, I should be able to “test drive” the car .
