Hey guys,
I have gotten a few more things done, and continue to move closer to wheels on. Steering is back on and all hooked up. Also I have plumbed all the brakes. Still haven't tightened all the bolts yet, I will have to soon, but I will have to find time in large enough blocks to do all the squaring. But now to get to why you all tune in here.

Wow, it's a good thing I feed on you comments and they empower me to keep going. Keep it up we are soon to enter the real hard part of this build. Patrick |

Wow, It's been a while since I posted any updates, well here's what I've been up to. I now have the basic fuel system plumbed from the tank to the firewall, the rest will have to be done after I get the engine in the car. Now as per usual nothing about this was quick or easy. Just thinking about how I was going to do this was a headache, but with the help of lots of forum members and a good bit of money and some additional cussing and swearing I was able to get some things done.
http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...216_Small_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...217_Small_.JPG Pump mount, inlet filter, and pump this was a head scratcher the big problem was space and the ability to plumb lines. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...219_Small_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...218_Small_.JPG Outlet filter, now this required some crazy plumbing yes it looks close to the axle, but I've had some smart people check it out a they said it looks great. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...223_Small_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...224_Small_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...225_Small_.JPG Feed and return lines, this was relatively easy I say that with a smirk. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...220_Small_.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...221_Small_.JPG I had to add two new fittings to the fuel tank. Welding to my tank made me so nervous, just didn't want to burn a hole in it. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...227_Small_.JPG And finally the engine compartment complete with regulator. Now with any luck I can get some brake cables and get the Parking brake working. and get wheels on this beast. Patrick P.S. The major delay for the progress was the fact that I hosted the local gear head group for coffee and conversation last Sat., had a huge turnout. I spent three weeks cleaning the shop to get ready. |
