Inner Fenders Back on (( 07-12-20 ))
Once again the inner fenders are going back on.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9cdf97a-me.jpg I am looking for area's that need to be trimmed for better clearance http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b11d9f2-me.jpg Yet another while I am here moment. These two relays are for the Vintage air and before they were sitting on the top of the unit. By mounting them I will be able to access them if there is ever an issue. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a9eec23-me.jpg So I glued in a couple more Weld-Studs as this will be their new home. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8cde3f4-me.jpg Next up is finding a replacement for the fitting on the compressor. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b3c2779-me.jpg So it's off to Midwest Hot Rods to see what they have in stock |
Shortened Driveshaft is back (07-14-20)
07-14-20 I dropped my driveshaft at Village Auto and they took care of shortening it for me.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d30cfb1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0a5b256-me.jpg 07-18-20 Time to start working on the brake lines and let me tell you I haven't bent lines in years so I asked Mike if he would come over to assist me. I also picked up the Flaring tool from Eastwood hoping it would make my life easier. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b5ea864-me.jpg I pick up some steel lines from my local Napa and maybe one day I will convert these to Stainless Steel. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6cdd637-me.jpg Best 2nd Gen investment ever would be the DSE Brake Booster with the Kore3 brakes. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a02949b-me.jpg Here we go. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d934665-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e65d78f-me.jpg Love this tool. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f3f61b1-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...53da12d-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...bfa30e4-me.jpg |
NiCopp is a great material for brake lines, Mercedes, BMW use it as oem, much easier to bend and flare than stainless but won’t rust or corrode like the steel lines

Be careful bending 3/8 for fuel line, it will collapse if bent too tight

Time to make some modifications and order a few new parts. (( 07-25-20 ))
My plan is to keep this car simple and order a new steel trans pan with a drain plug and use ARP bolts to make it a little nicer.

Trying to figure out the top mount for the Radiator (( 08-01-20 ))
Thank God I sell packaging as I have used so much cardboard and chipboard on this version on the car.
http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...392a886-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...12e192d-me.jpg Splashing some paint on the cardboard so I see what it might look like. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0146fc2-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e6cc1a8-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ed59ba5-me.jpg This is not going to be fun but I plan to cut off the top of the Fan Shroud. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6224e36-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0bd80b5-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...50f0fb1-me.jpg Now I need to clean things up. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ba426a5-me.jpg I called in the Big Dog "Mr Mike Kelly" http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...df340db-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1e23466-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7cd1474-me.jpg So this was one of the most beautiful nights and I am certain all of my neighbors windows were open and of course we were not exactly being quiet. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0fe4cdb-me.jpg So this went on for at least an hour. http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d6f356b-me.jpg http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e8900d0-me.jpg |
