Yes, I know this is overkill ( 11-14-21 )
 

I think I am going to rename this car to Project Overkill

Once again I am taking the passenger side header off so I can get to the wiring at the starter.

So I dropped the lock washer of course my floor is speckled gray so it blended right in.

Eventually I laid on the ground with the flashlight so I could find the freaking thing.

Wiring toolbox ( 11-14-21 )
 

So the other day I was looking at all of the tools I have collected for wiring this car and I thought I would share pictures of my tool box that is completed dedicated to wiring. So when the car is done it will be going back to my warehouse.

Fuel Line Routing & DEI Heat Protection ( 11-20-21 )

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2f1bc09-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...800f4fc-me.jpg

I need to widen this rectangular hole so the fuel line can pass through this opening safely.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...97b3dc0-me.jpg

I installed the DEI Heat shield and EXO-Sleeve.

I am still trying to figure out if I am going to secure the line to the firewall or just let it hang from the fuel rail. Which doesn't sound good as I type this.

This is the final AN fitting that I need to finish the fuel line.

ARP Battery Bolts ( 11-25-21 )
 

I am not a fan of battery bolts and I really like ARP bolts. Since Rad Rides uses them on their builds I might as well use them on my car.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7aa8ee7-me.jpg

Apparently the bolt got a little warm.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...157fc59-me.jpg

I ran the bolt all the way in to make sure it wasn't to long. Eventually I will order the correct bolt.

“Project Overkill”?

:P

Skip thank you for making me laugh

MJ,



You’re welcome…cuz anyone who does this to himself building a car deserves a laff!

:D

I Know I Know this is so not necessary ( 11-27-21 )
 

So totally not necessary but I did it and it looks really nice as it made the lines disappear.

He's almost full grown.

While I cleaning up the lines I noticed the passenger side line was really close to the trans coolant lines. So added a couple washers under the bracket to raise the line up.

I finally received the black dipsticks from Lokar. So I figured I would install them while I was here.

Trans Dipstick.

Looks great,it’s almost like a step-by-step instructions for my build.:thankyou:

So I think I am going to leave it ( 11-28-21 )
 

I have been going back and fourth on this for weeks if not months.

Do I have Mario paint the Radiator, Fan Shroud and A/C Condenser or leave it natural for this version of the car.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8eb7fed-me.jpg

Today I am going back and touch up all of the holes I drilled in things. No reason to let things start rusting.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6cdf232-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fc95942-me.jpg

I am also removing the blue tape on the frame for the last time.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a7f0f26-me.jpg

So I learned this trick when I was still in High School. My buddy's father put grease on the core support body mount to stop the creaking that old cars made and still make.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4d254f0-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a7bef97-me.jpg

It's hard to tell what I am doing here but this was the only way I could get the washer on the Core Support upright brackets.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a775a57-me.jpg

It's hard to believe I used all of these tools to install three bolts
