Passenger Side Indicator ((06-09-24 ))
 

Here we go

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b816cd4-me.jpg

So, my AC line and some wiring is in the way !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...207b539-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...196d1e4-me.jpg

Plan B - Move the line just a little bit.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...367205b-me.jpg

What should have been a 10 minutes job turned into an hour.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...989f9c5-me.jpg

I headed to Ace Hardware to keep a couple nuts with star washers on them. Apparently, they are called Keps Nuts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0e128ed-me.jpg

As I was walking out I found an old ashtray that reminded me of my Grandfather. So, I bought it to hold all of my hardware while I am working.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6e90177-me.jpg

New nuts have been installed on both bumpers.

Norris Catch Can (( 06-20-24 ))
 

Finally finishing up the Norris Catch Can plumbing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8277ed2-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...166db3b-me.jpg

Figuring out where I am going to drill a hole and connect in.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...59725e9-me.jpg

The black hose that is under the braided hose is going to the intake tube.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0a4fe56-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...73148e8-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...07fa2b7-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...44b1c2e-me.jpg

I think I am going to wrap the hose in the Tech Flex Sleeving to make it look similar to the Earl Hose.
(( Most likely over the winter when I paint the radiator and fan shroud matte black. ))

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...34d38f3-me.jpg

I routed the hose under the wiring so it would look a little nicer.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cb88d81-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1d6aa41-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f806d11-me.jpg

I added a thick rubber washer under the intake tube.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8fcd8aa-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7e4bfad-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ff14ab3-me.jpg

I think it needs the Tech Flex wrap

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bf5c896-me.jpg

The pieces and parts are dwindling (( 06-22-24 ))
 

The parts in the attic and on the bench is definitely getting smaller.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a0ac54a-me.jpg

Installing the drivers side rocker skirts didn't go on as planned, unfortunately the fender holes are now slightly off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1030924-me.jpg

I need to make a minor adjustment to the rocker skirt so they line up with the fender nutzerts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0f1e07e-me.jpg

Weel, it wasn't enough

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...44900af-me.jpg

I had to run a tap through one of the nutzerts and I kept praying it wouldn't start spinning.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8c1ddec-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c793528-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fd64a54-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...990d3bd-me.jpg

Time to pack up the kids towels that have been using in the garage for the last three years while I've been working on the car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...969371d-me.jpg

And yet there is more to do. (( 06-28-24 ))
 

I almost forgot to grease the Ride-Tech Lower link bar.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...11000f0-me.jpg

I finally finished up the drivers door panel. However, I may add a vertical pull strap at some point.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d556423-me.jpg

Door handle bezel.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c10f973-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5b402b6-me.jpg

So does the spring clip hide behind the plastic washer or where I have it ?

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...722b85d-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...66b1cc3-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...00894db-me.jpg

So, I am an idiot. Apparently I forgot to plug in the light when I had the fender off.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0707799-me.jpg

All better.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3313fff-me.jpg

I also moved the headlight wiring as it was sitting on top of this loom.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...11895c4-me.jpg

Trying to find a good location for the High Beam Switch and yes I love this part of the car.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...977fccc-me.jpg

I think I like this.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...888611f-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...902c042-me.jpg

High Beam Dimmer Switch (( 06-29-24 ))
 

Normally, I would have drilled a hole in the firewall. However, the Weld Mounts are a great solutions.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...75cdd27-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...21e6e92-me.jpg

Mock up

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...43f7090-me.jpg

Time to remove some paint.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...db6a35b-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fbf6944-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2257988-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b850536-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ffdd983-me.jpg

more to come tomorrow

Removing the last of the blue tape. (( 06-29-24 ))
 

Hopefully, I drive the car out of the garage in the next couple days.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4a9794a-me.jpg

The Tape Ball is getting bigger.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...14e88a6-me.jpg

Hay Ron, do you remember when you asked me where the passenger mirror went ?

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...07e087e-me.jpg

Apparently, I still have to order the ARP bolts for the throttle body.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4bcb786-me.jpg

Towels are ready to go up in the attic.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1f28efe-me.jpg

All I have to do is take the "Bad Ass Fender Cover" off the car and it leaves the garage.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b140b80-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3fe5a8-me.jpg

and yes that is the name of the Fender Cover.

Back in the Garage (( 07-04-24 ))
 

Back at it and I am trying to put gas in the tank.

These new gas cans suck !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...35abb15-me.jpg

I picked up this Gas can Spout to convert it back to the old school style.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3456f1a-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5e58ce0-me.jpg

I have been going back and fourth with Holley about the gas cap part number and apparently
a batch of gas caps were packaged incorrectly. I only know this now that I went back to
Auto parts store and picked up another cap with the exact same part number and it's
completely different.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ca08abe-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...00cf5cf-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...663b4c6-me.jpg

Holy **** it works and it doesn't flop around !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fe0138a-me.jpg

This is the first one l purchsed which has the exact same part number and doesn't work.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c950606-me.jpg

Not even close to being the same design.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5eedc76-me.jpg

Dimmer Switch (( 07-04-24 ))
 

Weld Studs are the best !!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cdb5bc8-me.jpg

Over the Winter I plan to take it to the local interior for the to a custom carpet which will cover the wiring.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f074e0d-me.jpg

Pulling the car off the rack and turning it around. (( 07-04-24 ))
 

What sounded like a simple task turned into a calamity of errors and mass frustration. When I put the car in reverse
it displayed "N" which was odd as the car drove prior to this.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c0288f9-me.jpg

I gave the car a little gas and the car just didn't want to move, it struggle to move as the engine's rpms increased.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...92c0813-me.jpg

Then it got worse, as I was backing up the jack pads caught the subframe which pretty much stopped the car. I got
out of the car and blocked the front tires and jacked up the rear end so I could move the sliding jack.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c8e0a97-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...499cbb1-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...dedbe75-me.jpg

Thankfully it has rubber pads so no damage was done.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...70a59d4-me.jpg

Of course I forgot to move the tire block and once again the car stopped moving. Ugh !!!

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...343dae9-me.jpg

Drive is appeartly "4th" Gear on the Dash. Hopefully Dr EFI Andrew can fix that for my brain.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1ab6968-me.jpg

I did manage to get it out of the garage and turn it around and as i was backing up I noticed the Brake Lights where
on even though I was not in the car. That will be tomorrows project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b61b2f7-me.jpg

Then the heat hose started leaking and that is why you start a new project car with distilled water in the radiator as it
is much easier to clean up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...030b264-me.jpg

That's it I am going riding.
