Didn't finish the lighting wiring today, as I forgot that I needed to find out if the Ron Francis wiring system I have would provide sufficient power for these lights (I'm doubting it) or if I need to set up relays with power from the battery. So I reinstalled my horns, finished wiring the inside for now (the parking brake light isn't hooked up) and will call them tomorrow.
And I took some better pics of the car today... |
Great work on the headlights!! Love the look

Thanks, guys! I appreciate the kind words. Now I'm just waiting for my taillights. I have a friend building me some LED lights for them (traded labor for some welding and fab work) Just need him to finish up so I can install those.

Your car is turning out really nice.

Small updates this weekend. I got the headlight wiring finished up, and I installed the AC cover panels, even though they will need to come back off again for me to install the rubber pads, and later adjust the headlights, but it looks nice seeing them on there. I also have part of my RC catch can installed. I need to figure out where a few of the hoses still go- their instructions are not clear on a complete installation of this. I also had to make an extension for their optional air breather as it didn't clear the coils, and rebuild their bracket as it didn't fit my car. I pressed the extension on and then brazed it with some aluminum brazing rod I picked up at Pomona to seal it up. Cool stuff, especially since I don't have the tools to weld aluminum. All it took was a propane torch...
Part of installing that catch can assy included blocking off the pass valve cover tube, and I had to pull the valve cover to get a nut that dropped down while doing that, so I took a pic of the shiny rocker arms. I can't wait to hear this engine run |
Definitely looking good my friend. How long before you think it will be before you try to fire it up?

At the least I need the radiator hoses (I took measurements yesterday and will soon start figuring that out), a battery, the air intake assy (install the MAF, air filter, etc) and I believe a driveshaft to hold in the trans fluid. I wouldn't want to run that dry... I "should" also fit an exhaust system on, not for me, but for my cranky old neighbors (not you, Brett!) It would be good to have wheels and tires so I could roll it (or drive it) outside to not smoke up the garage. It's getting close, though! |
Nice build how long has it been that youve been building it
