Just to give you guys a heads up there are 2 different types of window felts for 69's. Original restoration looking is with the round bead & the flat bead one. It might be easier to paint the flat bead one but I'm not sure how the flat one sits, cushioned under the bead to prevent paint damage?

Talk about trying to make 10lbs of s#%t fit in a 5 gal bucket and try to make it look good. Accusump, oil thermostat, remote oil filter mount w/ primer, cooler, radiator overflow, PS reservoir and cooler, ProVent 200 separator, trans cooler and diff cooler. Holy cow! Went all in with Fragola Race-Rite Pro PTFE hose. Invested in the hydraulic crimper, etc and the hose is seriously light weight which has always been a consideration on this build. The hose is awesome if you are considering it but sure is pricey. The bend radius without collapse is very impressive.

Anyhow one corner just mockup thus far.

Wow that looks great I've been thinking about getting a hydraulic crimper and those hoses to replace every hose in my engine bay.Looks great what you've done...

Haven't posted in a awhile but things are progressing well. Plumbing is done which was a total PITA. Coolers, required SB4 vent with 1" lines and Accusump made it challenging to route while minimizing appearance. Electrical is basically done. Had a minor setback with the T56 mag trans where the cooler pump fitting would not seal. I bought the trans used on a 1 year old Tranzilla build so take no chances I sent the trans to Texas Drivetrain Perf and had them repair the issue. Also went with some Liberty Gear billet interlocks, new bronze fork pads and swapped out 6th gear for .58 vs .67 from the 2:29 ZR1 gearset since I will be running 3.73 or 3.90 gears. Should keep a nice 2200 rpm range on the highway for cruising.

We just started hanging the front sheet metal and finishing up the dash.

Sound system is basically done. Just a small 8" sub for just a bit of good bass. Using Memphis Audio. Wires are not fully tucked but you get the idea.

Since everything is controlled with the Ipad thru the InfinityBox InTouch unit I wanted something discreet to control volume and advance a song selection separate from an app. ^^^^ This Memphis unit was perfect so just a small switch that we will incorporate into the interior center console.

Coming together.

Dash preview....no visible switches other than the start button. Switches that we have are hidden in the ashtray. The wiper switch is mounted under the dash.
