My ARP Hardware is Here !!!!! ( 01-5-22 )
 
I sincerely think ARP and Summit Racing are two of my favorite company's. I know I have spent a bunch with both of these company's over the years.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1376292-me.jpg

One would think with as much stainless steel hardware that I have installed that I would have remembered to put a little bit of anti-seize
on the bolt. Seriously all I was doing was just setting the nut on the bolt and I barely spun it on and it seize up.

Ugh !!!

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0111f4f-me.jpg

If you followed this thread from the beginning you know this isn't the first time this has happened. So, I grabbed a larger
rachet and a much larger box end wrench and snapped the bolt.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c1101bc-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2e748dd-me.jpg

I might as well install the arms since I have a couple hours before I call it a night.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...432ccd5-me.jpg

and no more shims

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5430724-me.jpg

I made sure to take a couple pictures of the shims that I used on the calipers.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...296f305-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...316cdf6-me.jpg

I took the calipers off to reduce the weight of the spindle as I was trying to do this fast and easy.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1b83508-me.jpg

Installed

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9310895-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4da66b1-me.jpg

Drivers side is on and it only took about 10 minutes.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...4fffd81-me.jpg

For now I just stuck in two larger nuts as eventually I will be installing firewall strut braces.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...672f6e3-me.jpg

When the arms were shipped the hardware kit didn't include washers which drives me nuts.

So I installed washers with the new hardware.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5c81672-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a42b2f3-me.jpg

Once again these are the tools that came out to perform this job.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2c5c862-me.jpg

I am sure the box of Dots was from Halloween as they were a little hard but still good.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a2946f8-me.jpg

I love DOTS,looks great as always.

Holley EFI Tank Remes Autobody ''WOW'' (01-17-22 )
 
I dropped the Holley Tank off at Remes Autobody to get painted gloss black as I didn't like the idea of the tank being silver/gray in the back of
the car. When I went back to pick up the tank I was expecting a nice simple black paint job. Well this is far from simple. Once again they went
above and beyond and wow is all I can say. It is simple stunning and the crazy part is it matches the powder coating that the guys at Pro-Tek
Powder Coating applied almost perfectly.

My OCD is getting the best of me. ( 01-17-22 )
 
I want to make the car as easy to work on as possible so, I am spending a little bit of time now that will hopefully save me time in the future.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dd4f66d-me.jpg

If you go way back you will see that I ran all of the wires that go into the trunk through the drivers side rear quarter. This enabled me to pull
the wires out through "B" pillar vent. Which made it easy to wrap each wire loom individually and pass it over the wheel tub into the trunk.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fd7a603-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f7dcb9f-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5832129-me.jpg

Eventually I moved over to the wires in the trunk.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5965a80-me.jpg

I used weather pack connectors on all connections.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b70dca9-me.jpg

Of course I labeled everything.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...32581d7-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6b2f2b8-me.jpg

I had hoped to finish this project but unfortunately it was late and I needed to get up early in the morning so I called it a night.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9490d10-me.jpg


side note.
Yep, I actually got stuck in the trunk when I was doing this and nope I couldn't reach my phone to call my wife to help me get unstuck.

Eventually, I just relaxed for a couple minutes (which felt like an eternity) and I was able to unwedge my elbow from the rear quarter.

Since, I have had to get myself tucked back in the trunk with my arm once again reaching into the abyss. I figured that I best not do what I did the last time. This time I put my phone where I could easily reach it and I also didn't do that extra reach into and over the wheel tub. So I think I learned my lesson and next time I might even take a pillow in with me.

Thank God for Mike ( 01-19-22 )
 
I talked to Mike earlier in the week and once again he came to the rescue to add the helping hand. He also brought the his
assortment of 3/8's hose clamps as I needed a few to plumb the fuel tank vent.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...371dada-me.jpg

Of course I picked the really cool spring clamp one.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e4fd5b0-me.jpg

Tanks ready and going in !!!

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...15c663a-me.jpg

I think I said " Don't Scratch the Tank " at least twenty times before I carried it over. I hope the "Hello Kitty Towels" protect it.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...54ff601-me.jpg

Tank is in and we didn't scratch it.

Aeromotive Part # 15695 Fuel Pressure fitting ( 01-25-22 )
 
A good friend has been using this fitting on the fuel rail for years so he suggested I buy one.

Not a problem at all.

The cost was $650.00 and it was 3d printed. Lead time was about 4 months as he was backed up. PM me and I can give you his name on facebook and you can message him.

When I saw it months ago I really wanted it and I at one point I wasn't sure if it was going to happen and I messaged the gentleman and he said he had one that was ready to ship. So I quickly sent him money and a couple days late it showed up. I was so excited when it arrived and I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like on the car.

Filler Neck & Kicker Sound System ( 01-29-22 )
 
After searching every I went back to look at pictures to see if I could figure out what and how it was packed. Thankfully, I take
a lot of pictures and I found a picture that I took of the parts and they were in a red bag. So I went on the hunt for a red bag !!!

Found it !!!

Token Remy picture

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...71b2a5a-me.jpg

Without fear I am going back into the trunk and hopefully I won't get stuck in the trunk this time. The plan is to install weather pack
connectors on the all of the wires for the Kicker system.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3baa020-me.jpg

Yes, I am in the trunk.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3759f91-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c7e71ad-me.jpg

I use twist ties till I know things are permanent.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b69dfa0-me.jpg

The speakers wires are all tucked neatly in the trunk and hopefully this will be the last time I have to climb in the trunk.

syborg tt 02-20-2022 10:42 AM

A little bit of everything (02-05-22 )
 
A couple weeks ago I was reading one of the new magazines that are still in print and low and behold they shared a picture of
how Holley wants you to plumb the tank vent.

Now if I could actually figure out the part number for the fuel tank filler neck.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3bf7eab-me.jpg


Since I am still using the factory Dimmer switch I ordered the all black version of this one.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...41ce669-me.jpg


It is finally time to bring the Anvil Carbon Inner fenders down from my Attic Office and yes the kitchen table is the perfect place to put them.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c22cb3a-me.jpg


I needed to increase the gap in between the Holley Tank and the floor. So I used the Eastwood Sound deadening to increase the space just a little bit.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...f877728-me.jpg


It's a good thing these trunk floors are so amenable.


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


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8ba75bc-me.jpg


Hopefully this will be the last time the radiator goes in the car.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b354874-me.jpg


So I forgot to flush the radiator so off to the spray wash to flush it out. I should mention it was only 6 degree's out and thankfully the spray
wash uses hot water. This of course made this a very tolerable.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3e5d0a4-me.jpg


I decided to lay the Anvil radiator cover on and it looks really nice. I will have to re-clear the radiator close out panel as it has yellowed.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...57c7b9f-me.jpg

Anvil Carbon Inner Fenders Going in for the last time. ( 02-06-22 )
 
Just ONE DAY later and the inner fenders are off the kitchen table.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...75edb1a-me.jpg

I placed the towel on the frame to protect the Powder Coating as they only sit about a 1/4' above the frame. I am going
to address this later by trimming some off the inner fender.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...68fecb3-me.jpg


In order to install the passenger side the Billet Battery Tray will have to be removed.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...d6370f3-me.jpg


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...822f758-me.jpg


I wanted to add a larger fender washer however I didn't have the correct size so I had to drill out the washer. This was my Grandfathers
and I remember using it in his garage when I was a kid. My buddy Ben was kind enough to build me a rolling tool cart and he made a very
cool removable mount.


http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b502603-me.jpg

Yes, The blue tape is back.

Holley Tanks Vent Hose Clamps ( 02-06-22 )
 
When we mocked up the hoses on the Holley Tank I didn't install line clamps. I picked up a few line clamps from Napa and headed out to the garage.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8e54707-me.jpg

I really like easy projects.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...021b376-me.jpg

So do you guys think I should put some sort of foam to close out this area ?

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...259e900-me.jpg

Moving on to the final fan wiring.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0d34569-me.jpg

Yep, It came back out as I needed to install a bolt & line clamp.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e37d15a-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8cd8831-me.jpg

I am still trying to decide if I am going to paint this thing or not.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9faccc2-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...116d43d-me.jpg

The line clamp routes the wires safely and securely under the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...79e6121-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fdba043-me.jpg

So I used one of the setting on the iPhone to take this picture. It make it look like my 1 Car stall is 20 feet wide.

Radiator mount
 
So do you guys think I should put some sort of foam to close out this area ?

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...259e900-me.jpg

Yes.....closed cell (wetsuit-like density) to prevent high pressure (fan forced) air under hood going to low pressure area in front of radiator when stationary.
While you're at it......open up the core support rad attach holes and install grommets to prevent twist in the panel from tearing up your tank ends. Existing bolts and washers but need nylon nuts.
Also a ground wire to the rad to prevent internal corrosion from electrical charge in coolant.

Good news is the radiator is sitting on the factory rubber mounts and the upper bolts are sitting in 3/4" Well Nuts to allow for movement.

Never thought about that but I will add this to my list of things to do today when I head out to the garage.


Thank you for the advice I truly appreciate it. I have leaned over the years that I am never to old to learn something new and or better way of doing something old.

Amazing work....beautiful..

One Question/comment..... on you gas tank vent tube... the valve... if its the one I'm thinking of it has to be straight up/down or the valve doesn't work. I bought one thinking I could get it to work in a spot I had on the frame rail... but if you tilt it at all, the valve closes. So you may want to verify that the valve works in the angle you have it mounted.

So, I have thought about this over and over and I feel like you have confirmed my thoughts.

Another radiator close out option I used is this one... clips around the core support opening vs. adhesive:

If you take the valve, hook it to a short line of hose and then try to suck/blow through the hose, while tilting the valve....if yours is the same as mine..... you will note that as soon as you tilt it from straight up vertical, even just a little .... it stops functioning. Its pretty sensitive to being tilted at all, which I guess is a good thing if you wreck the car and dont want gas pouring out of it :)

Yep, it's the same one you had and now it's time to look for a new routing & location.

DSE Top Post Battery Terminals ( 02-13-22 )
 
So I have finally decided that I am going to use the DSE Battery Terminals as they are the nicest looking and I just like them.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...51487dc-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...851e487-me.jpg

Now that I have made my final decision I can complete the wires that are going to the battery terminals.

Fan Relay all wrapped & labeled in Tech Flex wire wrap.

Playing with the wire routing to see if I like it.

Trimming the weld stud.

Hard to tell in this picture but if you look closely you can see I added a line clamp to secure the wire behind the battery tray.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...1df1ee4-me.jpg

The fan relay trigger runs under the battery tray and I will connect it to the holley ECU wires that are running on top of the inner fender.

I am also looking at options for the Vintage Air Coolant & AC Line.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...09e6a83-me.jpg

Need a break from the car so I ran over to the Eastwood store and picked up some Flexible strip caulk that I am going to use on the back of the Bolt On DSE Firewall closeout panel.

Shiftworks Shifter Cable & Detent thingy ( 02-17-22 )
 
I needed a simple project as I didn't have much time to work on the car. So I decided I would install the shifter cable and the Detent piece.

The 30'' cable seems very long. I am going call them to see if they have a 27" or 28" cable as I think the shorter cable will work better.

Plugging away at all the little things ( 03-03-22 )
 
Man are these hard to find and I have five Autoparts stores within four miles of my house and the good news is I finally
found them at Autozone. I needed one for the radiator and one for the over flow tank. I like these as I can attach a 3/8's hose
so I can control where the coolant goes if I have to drain the radiator or overflow tank.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...62059c9-me.jpg

Of course I couldn't get the old one out so a quick trip to my buddy Ben's house and the job of getting the old one out has begun.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...48c6012-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b25b875-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...dbea4c5-me.jpg

A couple wraps of "Oatey FASTape" to prevent the fitting from getting stuck again.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a936dca-me.jpg

Another Quick trip to Ace Hardware for some small hardware and of course I need some animal crackers

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...77930ff-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e97c0c8-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9895f6f-me.jpg

Yes, another quick note.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7368be1-me.jpg

I use the "Pushnut" bolt retainers to hold the bolt to the tank which makes installing the tank much easier. I also installed
a layer of cork on the tank bracket to protect the paint on the core support.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...518b7ba-me.jpg

Has anyone use one of these as I might try this so I can bleed the brakes by myself ?

Your attention to detail makes me feel like I'm in your garage with you building this thing! Only I'm in California where it's in the mid 70's right now!! 🤣

G-Force Crossmember going back in. ( 03-05-22 )
 
I needed to remove the G-Force Crossmember to slot the holes so the bolts would go in a little bit easier.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6572ef5-me.jpg

Of course Remy was supervising the entire job until he saw a squirrel.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...468b99a-me.jpg

I am happy we designed the exhaust so it could be easily removed.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...9c53c5c-me.jpg

Remy is very happy with used the Lift-Jack to support the transmission.

Back to the Powder Coater to get recoated.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...c3743b8-me.jpg

Retraining the charge lead for the optima charge as it wants to go the opposite way. So I wrapped and zip-tied to so it would lose it's shipping memory.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...8818a74-me.jpg

Now that I am 100% happy with the fuel line routing I going to tape the ends of the DEI heat sleeve.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...2c57217-me.jpg

Yet another to do list.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...abf2a38-me.jpg

I decided I am going to use the stock Trans pan so I will be ordering ARP 6 Point hardware to match the rest of the hardware on the car.

I like to use heavy heat shrink for sleeve ends. Even the best tape always seems to come undone, plus the heat shrink sleeve looks really clean.

WOW! Such an amazingly phenomenal and attention-to-detail project! There are so many great ideas and "money is no object" goodies, I don't even know where to begin!

I am definitely looking forward to your finished product and applying many of your ideas to my build! Although, mine will be more on the "budget" side. My money tree died, so I need to pick up more shifts at the Fire Station.

Thank you and it's hard to believe I have been collecting parts and working on this car for the last 14 years. I really hope to have it running and driving this summer.

Thank you and steel as many idea's as you want as I have been watching so many builds for the last 20+ years which have given me all of these crazy idea's. As for your car it is freaking awesome. My dad had a NOS restoration 62 Bel Air Bubble Top that he recently sold and your car is one of my favorites as I love the Flat Roof cars. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
