Looks like the new Lightweight. Wow.

Well, It looks like I have to find the manual for the vintage air unit as I have no clue where the Gray wire goes.

Double check behind me, but I believe the gray wire with red connector is the program wire for calibrating the control panel/levers.

X 1000... Marty's posts are the best. I need to up my game. :lol:

Looks like you are hitting it hard Marty.:gitrdun:

I'm about to do my Torino hinges and not looking forward to it.

Thank you and I am been trying to get out to the car every chance I can even if it's only for an hour. I think it Mr Steilow that said an hour here or there is still progress.

On a side note make sure you do the top hinge first. I learned that the hard way when I went over to the drivers side. What I should have done was replace the bushing on the top and check the door alignment and I needed to re-adjust this is when you do it. I did the bottom first on the drivers side and well it went south really fast or closer to the earth. So far south I couldn't even shut the door. I eventually walked away and called Larry (Body Guy) and he laughed at me and said well son you screwed up. Replace the top, gently try to close the door and if doesn't line up lift up or lower the door and try to get it the top hinge set. Then you do the bottom hinge and it will be much easier.

Lesson Learned !!!!

Mindless projects are sometimes needed (04-18-21)
 

I wanted and needed something mindless so I decided I would silicone the defrost vents to the underside of the dash. Hopefully I won't regret this.

I think my note told me to do it.

It must have also told me to take this picture.

Back in February my best animal friend Shadow passed away unexpectedly. It was awful and heartbreaking. Shadow was born on the day I started chemo so we had a very special bond. I always felt that we were going to live out the rest of our lives together. Unfortunately, God had a different plans for us. I am sorry to say there will be no new pictures of Shadow (crying while I type this) just old ones.

Adjusting to life without a dog was just not going to good and my wife forced me to look at puppy's. I was so hard as Shadow used to go everywhere with me including work. He even went with me to my customers. Everyone loved him. A couple months later my wife found another Yorkie-Pom breeder near Indy and she put a deposit on one of the two males. We finally picked him up mid April and it has been very nice having him in the house. However, the last 6 months with him has reminded me why you have kids when your young as a puppy's doesn't sleep when you sleep and how can something 2.5lbs poop so much.

We also bought him and Octagon also know as Fight Club so he will be safe with me in the garage.

Still wiring things (04-25-21)
 

Back to the inside of the car I started working on the DSE Wiper wiring.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7ae772b-me.jpg

Instead of removing some of the original wire from the factory harness I heat shrink'd the ends and gave them a new home. You just never know when you might need extra wires.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5c769d8-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cc39287-me.jpg

I finally feel like I won't be running anymore wires down the drivers side so I wrapped the wires in tech-flex wrap.

Breaking Remy in right away.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...999d686-me.jpg

I also started a Re-Do bucket just to see how much tape I take off and of various stuff.

ECU mounting & Holley Dash (05-01-21)
 

Getting closer to final mock up of the ECU wiring

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...be6f297-me.jpg

I started searching for the bracket that hangs the vintage air unit and I can't seem to find it. I called my Powder Coater to see if he
remembers powder coating the bracket and he laughed as he powders so much stuff that there is now way he could remember.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a2ce7f3-me.jpg

After 90 minutes of searching I finally found the bracket as it was right where I put it last. (insert sarcasm here).

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...375cb8b-me.jpg

Installed it and mounted the ECU bracket which I made a long time ago.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4146269-me.jpg

I mounted the ECU and started plugging everything in so I could start routing the wires for the digital dash.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...31ba1a6-me.jpg

As much as I love the Autometer dash that was in the car I really really wanted the Holley digital dash. So I pulled trigger and bought the dash.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4f07f94-me.jpg

He's getting bigger well not really.

More notes.

Apparently the trans ''Trigger" can't be connected to the same trigger as the ECU.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...73e4252-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b0e7094-me.jpg

Test fitting everything and so far it looks like everything is going to fit as planned.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1979b1f-me.jpg

I also made a perm-a-note that the nuts on the small weld studs are 11/32 of an inch.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...257de2b-me.jpg

Since I use these so much in the car I put tape on them so I can find them quickly in my toolbox.

Mounted the Fan & Fan Shroud ( 05-02-21 )
 

My goal was to work on the fan relay and well at least installed the radiator, shroud and fan. At some point I need to bring the radiator and the shroud over to Mario to have him paint it.

As some of you know I try to be organized and sometimes thing get out of control. So i stopped what I was doing and spent the next couple hours organizing everything.
