2020 10-19 Holley Clipped Corner Tank

So I pulled the trigger and ordered the Holley Clipped Corner tanks and it was the right decision. It has solved my clearance issue with the tailpipe which will also allow me to have extra room if I ever decided to install wider tires on the rear and if I do will at least have the room to make new tailpipes.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...46fcdb1-me.jpg

You can see how much deeper the new tank is by looking at the pump assembly.

Preparing for the Power Tour - Fuel Pump Access Door (( 10-21-20 ))

I know this is overkill but I really don't want to ever have to drop the tank when it has fuel in it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...90a221e-me.jpg

One of the benefits of the blue tape is I can write notes right on the tank.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...651ca12-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...05ebe14-me.jpg

Talk about a tight fit.

I needed to open these up just a little bit so I could slide them in place.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f9c0a33-me.jpg

So this is how I tightened them back up. Anyone do this a different way as I would love to know if there is a better way.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...90eaeb1-me.jpg

I put tape on the straps temporarily and once the tank is in for the final time I will install the rubber strips.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e18b102-me.jpg

Had to call the wife out to help me put the tank in for the first time. Once the straps are bent I can easily remove and install the tank by myself.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...083adff-me.jpg

Tank is in and it looks so much better.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7950a1b-me.jpg

I had to shorten the lines just a little bit and I was even smart enough to lay the wiring on the top of the tank. This will allow me to terminate the wire at the sending unit and the fuel pump. I will also need to run ground wire which I forgot to install.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f2f2cd9-me.jpg

I quickly installed the tailpipes just to see how much of a difference the new tank would make.

look great, I wish they will make those tanks narrow real soon.
I dont want to spend money for a dse unit

Planning the Atomic 4L60E Transmission Coolant Lines (( 10-24-20 ))

Time to start planning the soft lines for the transmission.

I will need to order a few more fitting from Summit so I run soft lines from the transmission to the hard lines under the core support.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fa77c2c-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...82db5bc-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c580335-me.jpg

Having soft lines at the transmission will make it easier to remove the trans and i won't have to worry about trying to figure out how I would get a wrench on the fittings if i did a hard line.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...38d48ff-me.jpg

Did I mention I have some of the best kids a father could ask for. Not only did my daughter go pick up lunch she stayed out in the garage and had lunch with me and we talked about her day.

Tanks Ink Fuel Pump Access Door Install (( 10-24-20 ))

In order for me to be able to install the access door I am going to have to remove all of the parts in the trunk. The good news is most of the parts have already left the trunk and have been installed on the car. So I am feeling like the car is getting closer to getting back together.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c4dd14c-me.jpg

Don't hate me as I went to Harbor Freight and bout a disposable panels saw.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8ee64b0-me.jpg

and here is why I love the blue tape as all of my measurements are right there.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cd9c770-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...37ea180-me.jpg

In order for the panel to follow the shape of the floor I slid the panel up into the curve and slowly pushed it into shape.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2f3d9da-me.jpg

Tanks is back out.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d0ab26e-me.jpg

You know if it wasn't my car I am sure it wouldn't bother me to cut a giant hole in the trunk floor.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5540805-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2aa580d-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d568457-me.jpg

Houston we have a hole.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...518ef42-me.jpg

Next step it to make the floor opening match the access door.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c714089-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...681360a-me.jpg

I installed the tank back in to make sure I actually cut the hole in the correct place.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...62a3144-me.jpg

Tanks is back in and I made sure I installed the lines. I wanted to make sure I could get to all of the fittings.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...62a3144-me.jpg

Once I trim up all of the excess I will be able to service the pump, float & fittings.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5d5e2db-me.jpg

Holy crud am I making a mess.

Panel Bonding the Access Door (( 10-25-20 ))

Time to put the Access panel in for the last time. I applied panel bond on the floor and screwed the panel in for the last time.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9ef6db3-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d880a18-me.jpg

Applied some paint & primer in one on the bare metal area's

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...34c69b9-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...213ac23-me.jpg

At some point I will clean off all of the finger prints.

4l60e - 700R4 Case Compare (( 10-27-20 ))

When we built version 1.0 of the car it had a 700R4. Version 2.0 is getting 4L60e built by Atomic Transmission in Villa Park, IL. What I have learned is that the mounting position on the tailshaft is further back and the top of the case is a little fatter. Which means there is a a whole lot less room on the sides for you to reach up and install the wiring and tighten the coolant line fittings.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cb4f404-me.jpg

For now the empty 700r4 case is going back in as I can't seem to find one. You can see I had to drill new holes in the G-Force Crossmember for the 4L60e which are currently hidden under the tape.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5ad946e-me.jpg

5th Gen Edelbrock Shorty Headers (( 10-31-20 ))

So Mike called me to ask what I was doing and I told him I was about to install the headers in the car and that I would call him back in 5 minutes. Every step of the way on this build I wanted to make a car that was easy to work on and fun to drive. Since I a very content with 468hp I didn't see a need for long tube headers and a 3" exhaust. So we took a set of Edelbrock shorty headers and the guys at High Speed Welding made a down tube to connect to the exhaust.

Nice work, as usual, Marty! I always enjoy reveling in your use of blue tape, lol. I’m interested in some info on your trans....I’ve gotta pull the trigger on one for my Nova build and with so many going T56, there’s not a lot of info out there for auto’s, not to mention it’s my first go around with an automatic outside of my daily driver. So interested in why you chose Atomic and if you have any experience? I’ve seen a lot of bad reviews on Monster and my body shop said they’ve not had good luck lately with TCI so I’ve been putting it off and looking around but they all start looking the same. Also love your use of the short flexible coolant lines that connect to the hard lines...I’m probably gonna plagiarize that but I’ll definitely give you the credit! Thanks:cheers:

Morning Shane,

What can I say i love my tape and I think i should give 3m a call and ask them to send me a few rolls.

As for the automatic transmission it goes back to my Syclone/Typhoon days. Bowler builds an incredible transmission and I would highly recommend them as know what it takes to build a transmission that can handle autocross and track use. I choose to go with Atomic Transmission for this build as they are local to me (12 miles) and they have built a bunch for the guys in the Syclone/Typhoon community and everyone loves them. They also build a bunch of drag race and pro-touring car automatics. These guys are car guys first and love building transmission for our cars. I have a bunch of friends that have there transmissions in their cars and swear by them. So I decided to go with them.

When I asked them for a empty case so I could powder coat it they ordered me a new case so it would be perfect. The best part is when I brought the case back they wrapped it in towels and the gentleman that assembled it was so excited to work on it that when I came back to pick it up. He actually helped me load it in my truck. He wanted to make sure no one scratched or even touched it. He also told me he kept it on his toolbox and told everyone not to touch it. With that being said you know he is a true car guy and I feel confident he went above and beyond to building my transmission.

I also like the feeling that if I have an issue I can drive the car over to them and have them help me. It's also why I use the guys at Village Auto & Customs as they are minutes from my house and if I need anything they will actually walk out the front door and look at the car for me.

My goal with this car is to have a fun reliable driver that I feel confident about jumping in the car and driving cross country. Similar to our daily drivers. If your afraid to drive your car or it's a hassle to drive it's just not worth owning to me. So as Greg Weld once told me build something that you can drive and drive daily so you can enjoy it. He also told me to by a Porsche and uhm that was a pretty darn good suggestion.

Holley PFT Fuel Line (( 10-31-20 ))

After talking with the guys at Holley I decided that I was going to skip making hard lines and just run soft lines front to rear. The benefit is there would only be two possible places it could leak and it would take a lot less time to run.

I started at the Filter/Regulator and plan to run up and over to the rear frame rail and use the OE mounting points for the line.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9996996-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dbb98df-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...69baeca-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f46dda7-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...178b38e-me.jpg

In order to keep the line above the frame I took advantage of this slot and ran the line through it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8454247-me.jpg

I am also ordering some aviation wrap from Tech to put around the fuel line as it passes through this area.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5f781ff-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d305ac2-me.jpg

Thankfully I have a nice right hand drill attachment as this prevented me from going to Ace Hardware and buying a new tool. Darn !!!

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a31b130-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...beb4814-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...09bc60b-me.jpg

Assembling the Holley Sniper Sheet Metal Intake (( 11-02-20 ))

The car is progressing nicely and it's time to address the one issue I have with the Holley Intake. I've been working with the guys at Holley and I explained to them the Fuel Log connecting the rails in the front is way to short. It's so tight that it actually bends the rails in when I try to install the Throttle Body.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e51a789-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...717afc5-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b20275f-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...261b264-me.jpg

So I am going to plan "B" and ordering up a few more fitting and going to use the Black PFT line and I will add 1.5" to the length of the line so it fits neatly under the throttle body.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...df53f89-me.jpg

Why is this bracket so darn Ugly (( 11-02-20 ))

So I have the Holley Throttle Bracket and it has got to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

Hideous would be the word that comes to mind.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ef07277-me.jpg

Dear Lord this thing sticks up so high it could possible hit the hood.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...34ebe8d-me.jpg

Coolant Hoses by Kenny Davis (( 11-08-20 ))

I ordered up some new hoses to connect the metal coolant hose that Kenny built.

I borrowed the red connection hose from my buddy Ben and I liked how nice it fit and looked.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...667725f-me.jpg

Knowing that the hose I borrowed worked and looked nice I ordered up some in black.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1a7be02-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5a4493a-me.jpg

Trans Coolant Lines (( 11-08-20 ))

Today I am going to try to figure out a good way to run the transmission coolant lines. I started at the
radiator using the lines Kenny bent as they look great and work perfect. I will most likely change the blue fittings
to black so it blends in with the engine bay,

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...036b032-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ce56c0c-me.jpg

Once again I pulled out the clear tubbing and layed it out the way I suspect it will go.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a149b99-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7b3e533-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7ce236a-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...317a480-me.jpg

There is a lot going on here.

Fuel line, Vintage Air Drain & of course the Trans Coolant Lines which will have DEI heat wrap installed near the headers downpipe.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e3761f9-me.jpg

You can see the green rope as I use that to estimate the length of hose I will need.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e005905-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e1711b2-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...15f0ae1-me.jpg

Once the inner fenders are installed the lines will not be visible.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...88e72db-me.png

Playing with the DEI Heat Sleeve (( 11-11-20 ))

I picked up some DEI Heat Sleeve and I plan to install it on the fuel line near the tailpipes.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f43d08f-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4702908-me.jpg

It was a while I am here moment I slid some over the fuel line where it goes through the frame rail.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b05c9f2-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...398de31-me.jpg

So years ago I learned this little trick to straighten out Adel Clamps.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...65fabf3-me.jpg

Insert the appropriate socket.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...53ca3c2-me.jpg

Gently tap the clamp and it will straighten right out.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...811d605-me.jpg

Relocated the Vintage Air drain to a safe location.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...89e3a44-me.jpg

Installed the DEI Heat Wrap on one of the Transmission coolant lines.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f74b741-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f5b37d6-me.jpg

Blue tape, clear tubing, green rope.... I like your style. It’s paying off and really coming together nicely.

:captain:

Really enjoying seeing all your creative solutions here MJ. :thumbsup:

Yes, I am aware I have a problem and after I finish this car I will seek therapy.

Racetronix sell black anodized adel clamps and I had to have them even though now one will every notice them.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b2f6e28-me.jpg

They also sell a very nice aluminum -6 line clamps.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dfc7439-me.jpg

I also picked up some Knotchead -6 soft line clamps.

Not going to lie to you guys it's been 20+ years since I have bent brake lines (( 11-14-20 ))

So it has been years since I made brake lines and I figured what the heck I have nothing but time so why not give it a shot. I decided I
was going to make the mock up line in the 3 pieces and then come back and attempt to make the line in one piece.

So out comes the trusty metal coat hangers and I made my first pattern.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...af7b423-me.jpg

Then the next

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f5db7b8-me.jpg

and finally I made the complete pattern.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...07f9153-me.jpg

Here goes nothing !

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cacd916-me.jpg

Hard to believe my first attempt went so well.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...615a2ec-me.jpg

The final bends on the drivers side went well however I was way off on the passenger side.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3953e19-me.jpg

Opps - oh well I will give it another shot in a couple days.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ee1710e-me.jpg

2nd Attempt at the brake lines (( 11-15-20 ))

No one ever called me a quitter.

I am going to skip most everything I did to get to this point.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...49a2243-me.jpg

Love this tool from Eastwood.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...44a3ea7-me.jpg

Looks like I will be doing it again as I miss-calculated where I needed to bend the lines so I straightened it and bent again so I could get closer on the next attempt.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...67f2f8d-me.jpg

Thankfully brake lines are cheap.

Don't ever call me a quitter (( 11-20-20 ))

Good job Marty!

Professional tools make all the difference in the end product.

Andrew

I am amazed at the work and quality you get done.

Few understand how much work it is to get this stuff done right. Humbled by your quality and drive.

Brake Lines Brake Lines Brake Lines (( 11-21-20 ))

Picking up where I left off I need to connect both front calipers to the master and my goal was to keep is simple and fairly
easy build. I plan to install a Knotchead line clamp under it to support it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d09f1c4-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e777d45-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...af5e9c7-me.jpg

Time to make the final line.

Since I made reference marks on the practice line I used those to make the new line all in one piece and it turned out exactly how I wanted it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...df0b308-me.jpg

Yep, I kept practicing with the scrap pieces to help me learn where to line up the tools so I can get the desired bends.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e4b2047-me.jpg

So I was feeling a little bit ambitious and I gave it another crack on the crossover line on the subframe.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...54c9daa-me.jpg

I needed an extra hand so I put the brake line bender in my Grandfathers Vice and wow was this a total game changer it was like having Mike in the garage helping me.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...80e7394-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...179c939-me.jpg

I just realized the sweatshirt that I am wearing in this picture was the last gift I received from my Grandmother before she died
in 1989. It had moved with me many times over the years and I never wore it. A few years back I pulled it out and decided I would
finally where it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f86dbaf-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b5fd26e-me.jpg

Using the reference marks I made allowed me to duplicate the final line all in one piece. I also traced out the line with sting so I new exactly how much line was necessary. It would have sucked if I had started with a 60" line as this line turned out to be 62" in length.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...da81bf1-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2f9d0d4-me.jpg

I needed an extra hand so I put the brake line bender in my Grandfathers Vice and wow was this a total game changer
it was like having Mike in the garage helping me.

I just realized the sweatshirt that I am wearing in this picture was the last gift I received from my Grandmother before she died
in 1989. It had moved with me many times over the years and I never wore it. A few years back I pulled it out and decided I would
finally where it.

Using the reference marks I made allowed me to duplicate the final line all in one piece. I also traced out the line with string
so I new exactly how much line was necessary. It would have sucked if I had started with a 60" line as this line turned out to be 62" in length.

The tape makes the line not look centered but it is actually almost perfect.

Not Going to lie bending these lines scares me (( 11-27-20 ))

Practicing flaring some 3/8" line with the new tool (( 11-27-20 ))

Since the rear line didn't match I remade it so it would. (( 11-28-20 ))

Wow...protouring, hotwheels and DQ all in one post!

Catching up on your progress - great job with the brake lines!

Throttle Bracket - Still playing around a ((11-28-20))

Trying to make this bracket a little leaner.

I think if I trim it down to something like this and get it anodized black it will blend right in. Before I trim it down I need to get a new Lokar throttle cable.

Radiator ((11-29-20))

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...948692e-me.jpg

I want to hide as many wires as possible so the horn wire will sneak behind the core support. I used a piece of door edge guard to protect the wires.

little bit of an overkill to crimp and solder but what the heck why not.

Moving on to the Kicker Bluetooth Stereo

I tried to make the trunk a little more comfortable for me back.

I need to run a 3.5mm extension up to the center console and the cable for the controller which will be mounted in the lower dash or center console. I won't decide that till I figure where the cup holders are going to go.

The best tip ever is to secure a rubber band around the grips so you don't have to worry about holding them closed.

Just a tiny bit longer and it works perfect.
