You know I never thought about that.


I should be done with my crimper in about two weeks and you are more then welcome to borrow it.

Thank you and me an Rubber Ducks go way back. I am hoping to find my Devil Duck which I have had for at least 20 years and it has been misplaced. I

Fuel Vent Bracket (03-20-22)
 

The bend looks perfect

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...66266bc-me.jpg


I originally made the fuel vent bracket using some cheap thin steel.

Test fitting to make sure it works.

Time to make it out of thicker Steel

Just a little bit more.

DEI Fuel Line Wrap (03-23-22)
 

Since I am content as to where I ran the fuel line it's time for me to install the DEI Fuel Line Wrap and tape off the ends with there really strechy tape. Yes, I know stretch isn't a word.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3f57e4-me.jpg

You can barely see that the right side is taped.

Ron Wilson was kind enough to send me this firewall plug so I can block off the E-brake cable hole.

I filled the back with sealant which allowed me to install this by myself.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b401d14-me.jpg

My OCD wouldn't allow me to drop off the bracket till I rounded the corners. So I pulled out my bench grinder and completed the task.

No it's not an illusion the holes are not parallel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...76178b3-me.jpg

I also received these very nice Billet headlight switch knobs which I will be sending out to get anodized

Passenger Side Fender is coming home ( 03-24-22 )
 

( 03-24-22 ) I am finally bringing the passenger side fender home.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...836d712-me.jpg

Thankfully I labeled every bag.

Me and ARP are really good friends.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cfbd235-me.jpg

(03-26-22) Opps, I forgot to install the blower motor close out panels so off to Eastwood.

The originally DSE Closeout panel which I am not using has 5/16'' slots and the new one does not !!!! (( insert a ton of profanities here-))


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b085d4c-me.jpg

So this sucks !!!

Apparently on the new panel I received from DSE the slots are way smaller and of course I already have 5/16 nutserts in the firewall and of course the panel is painted.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c39dbcd-me.jpg

Luckily one hole lined up and I was able to locate all of the area's that need to be opened up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...64cb5de-me.jpg

I spent about an hour filing and test fitting.

Getting closer.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...57093be-me.jpg

A little touch up paint.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...75257b7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...05d33b6-me.jpg

A few feet of strip caulk.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9ae8d38-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ff4352b-me.jpg

Since four of the bolts are not visible I didn't use ARP bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bf3a958-me.jpg

Fender is going back in hibernation since I want to tighten the bolts one more time before I install the fender.

Passenger Fender is finally going on. Thank you Mike ( 03-27-22))
 

Well, it looks like this week we are going to install the passenger fender. Even if Remy says no !

Steering Shaft Install ( 04-01-22 )
 

One of my daughters friends brother likes working on cars so he offered to help. So we started working on all the projects that require having a second set of hands.

The first project we worked on was the steering column & steering shaft.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...11fc8ac-me.jpg

Apparently Remy likes him.

Vintage Air Mag Daddy Magnets (04-02-22)
 

Moving on to the next project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c2e9ad9-me.jpg

Because of my day job I learned about the Mag Daddy Magnets and how useful they can be.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fc367f3-me.jpg

You can barely see them in the picture but they are holding up the wires and you can still move them around till you figure out the final layout.

Wilson Muscle Car Optima Battery Tray (04-06-22)
 

I re-installed the WMC Optima Battery tray so I could work on the wiring going to the Battery.

This is the support rod that is used when you are using the Anvil Carbon inner fenders.

Battery wiring (04-10-22)
 

Before I started working on the battery terminal wiring I need to run to the auto parts store.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6948da6-me.jpg

On my way home I stopped at McDonalds for a McFlurry.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4ff7e72-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d2c367d-me.jpg

Since wires tend to have strong memory so I made sure the ring terminal was on in the correct orientation.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...16514bd-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0ffd665-me.jpg

I am still amazed at the amount of tools used on every project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9d20c16-me.jpg

Finally found the DSE Wiper wiring Diagram (04-10-22)
 

Well, I am certain everyone has lost instruction for something. This time I lost the instruction for the DSE Wiper wiring
harness and no one at DSE could find a copy of it for me as it was there Gen I kit. After weeks of searching I finally found
it so today is the day that I will finish that project.

I added a line clamp to the steering column bolt. However, I am going to have to drill and tap these so I can use a nut to anchor these.
