Just a brief update. I went to the local parts store (mom and pop place) right next to my house. They are getting to know me very well lol. I checked out their 300+ radiator hoses in the storage room and nothing fit my upper or lower hose. One was close for the top hose, but the ends were different sizes. So my top hose is two cobbled together hoses that are butted together with a billet coupler. The lower hose was such a weird angle that I threw my hands in the air and bought an aftermarket thermostat housing that is straight instead of a 90* or whatever harsh angle the stock one is at.
Seriously, this shouldn't be that difficult!
Anyway, the older style thermostat housing actually had a tstat pressed into them. So I had to buy a new tstat as well. I saw mixed reviews of the aftermarket tstat housings not being flush and they only seal with a rubber o ring, so who knows what will happen. I'm about 1 hot minute away from doing AN lines on everything and an ewp. Or just finding a stock radiator/fan setup.
I talked to a tuner finally to get me a solid base tune. It now starts and idles real easy, but will need dyno time once it's mobile. Hoping in the spring. I sent logs over and he's reviewing. I was hoping to hammer down on the car this week and next, but now with the wife testing positive for COVID, I'm on fulltime baby duty + work.
On the plus side, I bought some seats FINALLY! Here they are:

Also, I bought a HF 30x16 cart for all of my electrical crap. Thinking about buying another one for my undercoating stuff. In a week and a half, a guy is coming to hopefully buy the IROC. Things are happening, just at a snail's pace.
What's next for the T/A? Bleed coolant, expect it to leak from the tstat housing, pretend it's not leaking, figure out a fan controller solution (it has a probe setup now but may buy the BP Automotive harness and do it right), and move it out of the shop.
