Thanks, I learned a lot wrapping these parts …. prematurely, now to get my compressor wired up this weekend and get the Lizard Skin on the back side and some black epoxy on the inner front fenders.


UPDATE: Finished the hood, AC is shipped and have some tubing coming for the brakes and fuel lines, time to get to work plumbing the car

Still in a haze with the passing of Greg ….

Talking Parts and pieces are coming in ...

Now to get to work Just wished it wasn't this dang hot, maybe I should work through the night when it's cooler, lol.


Still waiting on some cable sheaving and shrink wrap for the electrical, a starter solenoid with cables for a truck mount battery. Pictures for you viewing pleasure ….


Speedtech inner fenderwells made by Glastek, I already have the down bars!

Control panel will get mounted in the center dash somewhere!

Got the EZ-clips for the AC hoping for better bend radius and ease of installation.

Got the evap unit mocked up!

Had to search hard to find these bulkhead fittings for the Finch plate

Mastercool flaring tool for the AN fittings for fuel and brake lines. Fragola nuts and sleeves for -6 AN and Eastwood tubing straightener for 3/8.

Tube bender, fuel filter, SS 3/8 line and GM quick disconnects and -6 AN line to fuel pump!

My HWY 15 kit is going to be modified still need relays for fuel pump, AC, fans, and accessories.



Trying to plan ahead and think of all the parts I might need and I thank Vince for sharing his knowledge and answering all my stupid questions!

Post install pictures to come, thanks for looking …

Smile I got gas ....

lines from tank to firewall! Well that was a lesson in patience but I persisted and . I did have to re-make the rear fuel line cuz I tried to correct one bend that was too short and the just made it worse, so I made a new one this morning in about a half an hour.

I left the fuel line long at the firewall and did not terminate it yet, may add a 45 degree and GM quick disconnect or leave it parallel to the firewall. Figure it's best to not commit to termination side just yet!

And my Ididit column came back, had to have it shortened to 30" to fit with the extreme subframe, thanks to Speedtech for labor and shipping charges.

Well here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure …


















I also received my QuickCar battery relocation kit that included the starter solenoid and cables, not gonna use the dash plate, really meant for dirt track guys.

Now back to install of the VA evap and lines, thanks for looking ...

Thanks Wayne, there is always a first for everything!

Keep plugging away with all that is electrical and needs to tie into the AAW 15. Seems GM already has a relay for the fans, fuel pump and ac in their factory harness, nice scratch that off the list. I did find out that the Racepak needs a feed for the engine speed and oil pressure so I ordered the associated male connectors and seal for the Delphi connector that GM leaves dead headed as their bulkhead connector.

Figured I'd get keep moving while I'm waiting on parts to installed the Raingear Hidden Wiper system. Pretty straight forward, used some flex tubing and heat shrink and she's in, I'll finish the final alignment tomorrow.

Here's some pictures …









I'll keep working on electrical and get some routing and finalize the battery, solenoid, breaker and forward connections for power.

Thanks for looking ….

Great attention to detail as always. One thing I would suggest is to use some kind of fan controller that gives you more than a simple on/off. These fans are noisy when running full speed. Entropy has a two speed controller or better yet the continuously variable PWM controller from DC Controls works great.
