This is so crazy

Not once have I ever thought about this.

Steering Box Nut - It's the Wrong One (( 07-23-23 ))

I adding this as a To Do List item as the nut that came with the DSE Box was incorrect. I think... they sent me a correct one but I have no clue where it is.

Driveline Angles (( 07-24-23 ))

So we have another leak most likely because the car has been on this rack since April 24, 2019. The funny thing is my
goal was for the car to be down for one year. Doing just a simple Holley Sniper Swap and then like everything I do I
kinda lost my mind and decided to do 90% of the crazy idea's in my head.

Ha !!!!

Time to work on the drive line angles

I did the rear differential the following day

Another Reminder since I couldn't find the correct socket !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3556896-me.jpg

Since the car is offset on the lift (allows me to fully open the drivers door) I found a way for the car to go up perfectly flat with this silly combination of stuff.

Best wiring tool ever (( 07-27-23 ))

I just sorry I didn't buy it sooner

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cbdc2d8-me.jpg

and it's even made in the Good Old USA

Kick Panel Speaker Enclosures (( 07-27-23 ))

Huh, I am not sure I like these as they are extremely flimsy.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5350a75-me.jpg

Maybe if they are wrapped in leather they will be a little bit more sturdy.

Final Vintage Air Wiring (( 07-27-23 ))

Of course I was able to go back and look at a picture from June 30, 2019 to see how Kenny had it wired.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...045fc99-me.jpg

It sure does look like there is a lot going on in there.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...befff57-me.jpg

I am using the Mag Daddy wire mounts to secure the wire looms. The Yellow wires are all of the extra inputs for the
Terminator that I may or may not ever use.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...350d828-me.jpg

Having the heat shrink printer is very helpful.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b444069-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4aa1594-me.jpg

I may or may not add a little bit of heat shrink to cover up the blue wire ends.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a3750fa-me.jpg

I left a little extra wire just in case.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ce518cd-me.jpg

Secured all of the lines together.

Screaming Chicken Steering Wheel (( 07-29-23 ))

I have had this steering wheel for a few months now and it should be going on the car in the next couple weeks.

They are a sponsor here on Lat-G and I wanted to help support them so I bought there Steering wheel and a bunch of other small parts.

Vintage Air Hose Routing (( 07-29-23 ))

Time to secure the hoses together and hopefully prevent them from chaffing on the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...89847c6-me.jpg

I will be installing a larger hose over the heater hose that is sitting on the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cc555a1-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6e50e72-me.jpg

It sure does look close to the battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9783c44-me.jpg

Seriously Optima...WTH you sell a battery charger that standard battery are to big for.

Nothing that a small round file can't fix.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...226d760-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9dae170-me.jpg

Routed the wires down so they can be stored in the frame rail.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3fe836-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b0d6eb0-me.jpg

Sorry the picture is a little dark but you guys get the idea.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bbfb516-me.jpg

Another reminder to secure this line to the core support. Trust me Chemo Brain is Real.

Classic Industries Door Panel (( 07-29-23 ))

Final Install of the Optima Battery (( 07-30-23 ))

It's starting to seem real as I am finally getting close to driving the car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f0edea4-me.jpg

So, it's time to remove the mock up battery and install the really Optima Red Top.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5a2916f-me.jpg

Well we have a small issue. I am using a grade 8 Zinc coated bolt and washer and the washer is slightly larger then the bolt which
is interfering with the hold down bracket. So, the bolt is coming out and I am going to file a flat spot in the washer and attempt to
line it up with the bolt head. Which will give me just enough space to clear the bracket.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e463c1b-me.jpg

I found another use for my mountain bike gloves.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...39eb3e9-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d813adf-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...000e8e1-me.jpg

Filed down and almost ready to go.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7dc55e8-me.jpg

I increased the diameter of the inside of the washer so it would sit perfectly flat.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8914b3e-me.jpg

Just a little more please

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8adcedd-me.jpg

This was fun...not !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...88b7351-me.jpg

Nope, the washer rotated so I need to do it again.

This time around I started with the washer flat spot a little further back (counter clockwise) so when the bolt contacted
the washer it would move in sync with the bolt head. It took a couple try's to line up the flat spot with the nut on each bolt.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9fd45dc-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...57a6e6e-me.jpg

More ARP bolts for the top of the battery tray.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1355dc9-me.jpg

In order to tighten the bolts I had to move the Vintage Air hoses.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b412222-me.jpg

Some of the blue tape it is finally coming of.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1660de8-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...60722b4-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5df27ec-me.jpg

One more reminder.

I need to shorten one of the inner fender bolts as it is way to close to one of the vintage air hoses.
