Thank you.

When I took the car apart (both times) I bag / blue tape the parts and take pictures so when I start putting the car back together I can go back and look at my pictures on the day I took the car apart. It helps jog my memory as it pretty much sucks since Chemo back in 2012.

Vintage Air Coolant Lines (( 03-14-21 ))
 

Finally finishing up the Vintage Air heat lines.

Yes something is really really wrong with me

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e0b1cf0-me.jpg

For mock up I am using this plastic reducer.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a7b88f3-me.jpg

I can't wait till I don't have to touch this valve again.

Vintage Air Firewall Fitting (03-13-21)
 

I missed this one so I am going back to it.

Here is the ground stud that I will be using on the passenger side of the car. It goes directly to the battery and it will be also be a brass bolt.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...34aa7cc-me.jpg

Firewall fitting test fitted it one last time before I permatex it to the firewall.

Way back somewhere in this thread I put the part number for the machine washers that I am using on the inside of the firewall.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0d1d300-me.jpg

All glued in and nice and tight.

Passenger Door Hinge Bushings, Yes I hate my life. (03-19-21)
 

This is those while I am here moments.

If you know what these are you now how much this project sucks.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b9e3111-me.jpg

I made the right decision by buying the correct tool to remove the spring which made this a much easier task.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b07baa0-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ddb9c6a-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a820fce-me.jpg

I also made sure I drilled reference holes so I could the hinges back in the same place once I removed them.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6bc7dbd-me.jpg

New bushings installed and on to the next hinge.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5a5254a-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a493f4c-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7cd3060-me.jpg

Upper hinge should be much easier.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...70eee1e-me.jpg

DEI Heat Sleeve on Transmission Lines ( 03-20-21 )
 

Since the transmission lines are close to the downpipe on the header I decided to wrap the lines in DEI Heat Sleeve.

Drivers Side Hinge - Ugh (03-21-21)
 

So this side didn't go as smoothly as the passenger side.

This tool is a life saver.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fa6ec6d-me.png

Hinge is off and reference marks are set.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dd7c2da-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ce8cbb0-me.jpg

This side was not fun.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...46643ba-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...432a0f9-me.jpg

Both hinges are installed and lets just say the door is way off and I needed a break.

So I off to the taco joint!

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e482623-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3a6411e-me.jpg

I called it a night when I got home and I even broke my rule of cleaning up every night.

I needed something easy to do I made an AC line. (03-22-21)
 

Since yesterday didn't go so well I decided to make an AC Line.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...798e97e-me.jpg

I plan to crimp the fitting in the engine bay once I have all of the lines in the car.

Notch-Head Brake Line Clips (03-31-21)

Misc Blue Tape Notes
 

So I started making notes on the car for things I need to address.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...053409b-me.jpg

I also need to plug this holes since I am planning on using the Wildwood electric parking brake calipers.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...293a8c8-me.jpg

I will be using this wire when I install the Fessler RS light in the RS modified upper valance.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...25b8320-me.jpg

I also need to extend the line as my goal is to hide/clean up as much as of the wiring I can behind the grill.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...97afc2b-me.jpg

Finishing Up the Notchead installation (04-04-21 )
 

In order for me to finish the last couple holes I need a right hand drive drill and it is also nice to have an excuse to buy new tools.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0c615aa-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b0f4acf-me.jpg

I decided to install "Hot Rod Sleeve" on the drivers side brake line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9lh7lqZojc

Wire Wire Everywhere a Wire, Messing up the scenery, losing my mind.

More notes

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...847296f-me.jpg

As you all know I am fairly organized and since my memory sucks (chemo-brain) I have a binder for instructions and another for all of my To Do Lists.

I've learned that is you write the not immediately and put it in the place that it needs to be there is a good chance you won't forget the task and get burned later.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...73d6bdc-me.jpg

I will be installing Tessa tape on both sides of this line clamp to stabilize the line so it doesn't move back and forth and pinch the fuel pump fuse. The Holley ECU has a direct power for the fuel pump which is very nice.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...71abef5-me.jpg

It's a cute little wire.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5b49358-me.jpg

Good news I just so happen to have a green 14 gauge wire in my box. (Note this wire was not to spec and I ended up using this wire to trigger a relay.)

Holley EFI Wiring Underhood Wiring (04-10-21)
 

My goal is to make everything look as factory as possible. However, I want it to look clean and easy-ish to service.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...054bd22-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2a9fb44-me.jpg

I just don't like the look this area of the Holley Harness.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...47ba0cd-me.jpg

One more note on the firewall to remind me drill yet another hole in the firewall.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...740f599-me.jpg

I rewrapped the harness with tessa tape near the firewall.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cc31b44-me.jpg

I started running the wires to all the proper locations.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f10dc70-me.jpg

Moving on to the starter.

Still not happy with the Intake wiring. (04-11-21)
 

Yep, I just don't like it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e91cd27-me.jpg

Yep, the loom is coming apart again.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...93302ad-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4b51ece-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...521ff56-me.jpg

I think it looks a little better.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f4c30ab-me.jpg

So if you are using the Tech-Flex wire loom this is the best tool for cutting it without it fraying.

Back on the Holley EFI Wiring (04-18-21)
 

Ugh

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0ea3974-me.jpg

I started pulling the wire out that need to go their final home.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b9024f7-me.jpg

Installed the tech flex sleeve over the wire and ran it over to it's new home.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ba57c19-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b0c5a9f-me.jpg

I also just put a label tag on the wire looms which I plan to leave since they are under the dash.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0ed28d6-me.jpg

Yet another reference pictures

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2dfe857-me.jpg

Remember the Tessa Tape note well I finally applied the tape.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b05e6b5-me.jpg

Well, It looks like I have to find the manual for the vintage air unit as I have no clue where the Gray wire goes.

Thank you Don,

I’m having fun and learning a bunch along the way. It’s awesome having a great group of friends that share their knowledge which has allowed me to be able to do what I’m doing.

Yesterday I was at friends high end Porsche / Supercar race shop and unfortunately it gave me a few more ideas. (Not Good)

I am going to incorporate the door handles into my interior.

Double check behind me, but I believe the gray wire with red connector is the program wire for calibrating the control panel/levers.

X 1000... Marty's posts are the best. I need to up my game. :lol:

Looks like you are hitting it hard Marty.:gitrdun:

I'm about to do my Torino hinges and not looking forward to it.

Thank you and I am been trying to get out to the car every chance I can even if it's only for an hour. I think it Mr Steilow that said an hour here or there is still progress.

On a side note make sure you do the top hinge first. I learned that the hard way when I went over to the drivers side. What I should have done was replace the bushing on the top and check the door alignment and I needed to re-adjust this is when you do it. I did the bottom first on the drivers side and well it went south really fast or closer to the earth. So far south I couldn't even shut the door. I eventually walked away and called Larry (Body Guy) and he laughed at me and said well son you screwed up. Replace the top, gently try to close the door and if doesn't line up lift up or lower the door and try to get it the top hinge set. Then you do the bottom hinge and it will be much easier.

Lesson Learned !!!!

Mindless projects are sometimes needed (04-18-21)
 

I wanted and needed something mindless so I decided I would silicone the defrost vents to the underside of the dash. Hopefully I won't regret this.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0581932-me.jpg

I think my note told me to do it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...342ed0e-me.jpg

It must have also told me to take this picture.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7b396da-me.jpg

Back in February my best animal friend Shadow passed away unexpectedly. It was awful and heartbreaking. Shadow was born on the day I started chemo so we had a very special bond. I always felt that we were going to live out the rest of our lives together. Unfortunately, God had a different plans for us. I am sorry to say there will be no new pictures of Shadow (crying while I type this) just old ones.

Adjusting to life without a dog was just not going to good and my wife forced me to look at puppy's. I was so hard as Shadow used to go everywhere with me including work. He even went with me to my customers. Everyone loved him. A couple months later my wife found another Yorkie-Pom breeder near Indy and she put a deposit on one of the two males. We finally picked him up mid April and it has been very nice having him in the house. However, the last 6 months with him has reminded me why you have kids when your young as a puppy's doesn't sleep when you sleep and how can something 2.5lbs poop so much.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...214c573-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5cee672-me.jpg

We also bought him and Octagon also know as Fight Club so he will be safe with me in the garage.

Still wiring things (04-25-21)
 

Back to the inside of the car I started working on the DSE Wiper wiring.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7ae772b-me.jpg

Instead of removing some of the original wire from the factory harness I heat shrink'd the ends and gave them a new home. You just never know when you might need extra wires.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5c769d8-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...cc39287-me.jpg

I finally feel like I won't be running anymore wires down the drivers side so I wrapped the wires in tech-flex wrap.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e44c2b3-me.jpg

ECU mounting & Holley Dash (05-01-21)
 

Getting closer to final mock up of the ECU wiring

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...be6f297-me.jpg

I started searching for the bracket that hangs the vintage air unit and I can't seem to find it. I called my Powder Coater to see if he
remembers powder coating the bracket and he laughed as he powders so much stuff that there is now way he could remember.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a2ce7f3-me.jpg

After 90 minutes of searching I finally found the bracket as it was right where I put it last. (insert sarcasm here).

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...375cb8b-me.jpg

Installed it and mounted the ECU bracket which I made a long time ago.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4146269-me.jpg

I mounted the ECU and started plugging everything in so I could start routing the wires for the digital dash.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...31ba1a6-me.jpg

As much as I love the Autometer dash that was in the car I really really wanted the Holley digital dash. So I pulled trigger and bought the dash.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4f07f94-me.jpg

He's getting bigger well not really.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...01d4c03-me.jpg

More notes.

Apparently the trans ''Trigger" can't be connected to the same trigger as the ECU.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...73e4252-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b0e7094-me.jpg

Test fitting everything and so far it looks like everything is going to fit as planned.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4165306-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1979b1f-me.jpg

I also made a perm-a-note that the nuts on the small weld studs are 11/32 of an inch.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...257de2b-me.jpg

Since I use these so much in the car I put tape on them so I can find them quickly in my toolbox.

I removed the old wiring for the fan and installed a painless relay set up. Eventually this will come out and I will install the PWM setup.

I need to figure out the location for the relay.

This looks like the perfect location.

The black screw is the ground stud.

Wiring is all hidden nicely behind the battery

Routing the wires over to the fan where I will install a weather pack connector.

Making things looks pretty (05-16-21)
 

Time to wrap the wires

While I here I sketched out my wiring plan/diagram.

Of Course I will be using an Optima battery since the billet battery tray Ron & I designed for the 2nd Gen Camaro's.

I really really thought the car would make it out this year (05-17-21)
 

So my plan was to have the car completed for the Hot Rod Power Tour.
However, that didn't happen but the good news is I did buy the tires and plan to have them mounted soon.

Jumping back on the brakes or should I say "Circling Back".
I needed to stop this bracket from twisting when I turn the wheel

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6593733-me.jpg

Step One - Dill second hole in the bracket.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f2832a8-me.jpg

Step Two - Tap said hole.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...49fc8e7-me.jpg

Step Three - Drill second hole in frame.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b4d6590-me.jpg

Step Four - Mount bracket using the ARP bolt and then thread in the smaller bolt so it acts like a stud in the bracket. That way if the small bolt
breaks all I have to do is replace it. I also don't have to worry about breaking a small tap in the frame as I have done that some many times in
the past that I no longer trust myself.

Adding a Weather-Pack to the Fan (05-23-21)
 

Upgrading the wire connectors to a weather-pack connector.

I started using a X-Acto hot knife to cut the Tech-Flex wire sleeve. It works good and if you accidently cut yourself it also singes
your skin so you don't have to worry about bleeding or needing a band-aid.

That will definitely work. :thumbsup: I've fallen in love with nutserts (rivet nuts) in cases like that, easy to install and work great for mounting brackets/etc. to frames, firewalls, fenderwells, sheet metal...

That's a great idea and what really sucks is I have the tool.

Da !!!!

I've followed along at times and used some of your wiring techniques which has helped me, thanks for that. For my fan relays I decided to put them into a enclosure to protect from the elements just in case. One like this that fits both.

Then decided to grab this one of which I'll alter to fit down the road.

Also fabbed up a panel into the front fender area so that I wouldn't clutter up the battery area with a bunch of wires. Also used 2 battery terminal blocks as extended power points. Rivnut tool came in handy here!

Hi Simon,

Thank you Thank you

Looking back I should have used the waterproof relay, which means I will most likely order the waterproof relay kit and redo this next week unless Amazon can get it to me tomorrow.

Holley EFI Wiring, does it ever end (05-30-21)
 

Yep, more wiring

So way back on the 13th of May I wrote myself a note to look for this harness

Holley Injector Harness ( 05-30-21)

Okay so I was hungry and I went inside and made myself some oatmeal and well I never realized how nice it looked.

In order to plug in the harness I will once again need to remove the Vintage Air unit.

Holley Dash Wiring, Yes there is more (05-30-21)
 

Moving on to the Holley Digital Dash

Connected and routed the wires so the Vintage Air unit it once again will go back in.
