That is awesome! It is definitely a masterpiece my friend! Your first drive will be worth the wait, I’m sure!

Thank you for the compliment! I hope I can do it justice and achieve what I am picturing. I want to do a lot, but it will also be a budget build. I’m going to have to work more OT at the Fire Department for sure!

Vintage Air Hose Routing ( 03-06-22 )
 

It's getting closer day by day by day.

Today's project is to figure out how I plan to run the coolant and AC lines.

Battery Wiring Clean Up ( 03-06-22 )
 

Seriously I am getting really good at taking this car apart. Once again I am taking the positive off the mock up battery.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1f39258-me.jpg

I slipped over some heat shrink that I will eventually heat up once every thing is complete in this area. If all works out like I plan it may look really cool or it will be a total disaster.

I need to lengthen the indicator wiring as I am routing them so they can't be seen through the grill. The good news I have extra wire so this will be a simple task.

Cooking my Heater Hoses ( 03-07-22 )
 

Since they were wound up in a tight circle and I was tired of fighting them. I hung them and turned up my Forced Air Heater and warmed them up for a couple hours. The good news it worked and they un-curled quite nice.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c89fb90-me.jpg

Since I am not painting the radiator for this version of the car. I decided I was going to smooth out these scratches.

Final install of the custom Edelbrock Exhaust ( 03-13-22 )
 

Yet another while I am here task. Somehow and I don't know how the rod ends where not aligned so off they have to come to align them. I of course thought this was going to be an easy project. Well it was not and it was not even fun !!

Hopefully this will be the last time I have to remove and install the exhaust.

Anvil Inner Fenders ( 03-18-22 )
 

I need to install the Anvil Inner fenders to make sure the vintage air lines wouldn't be in the way of the battery cables.

It's coming along nicely Marty! I like how you mounted the drier. I am not really liking how VA has the drier mounted to the condenser. I may the same as you so it's a bit more solid. My issue will be crimping all the fittings.

Your attention to detail is a discipline. That's for sure. :thumbsup:

The rubber ducky is a nice touch as well.

Great attention to detail as usual. If that drier has been unsealed for any appreciable length of time it should probably be replaced.

Don

You know I never thought about that.


I should be done with my crimper in about two weeks and you are more then welcome to borrow it.

Thank you and me an Rubber Ducks go way back. I am hoping to find my Devil Duck which I have had for at least 20 years and it has been misplaced. I

Fuel Vent Bracket (03-20-22)
 

The bend looks perfect

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...66266bc-me.jpg


I originally made the fuel vent bracket using some cheap thin steel.

DEI Fuel Line Wrap (03-23-22)
 

Since I am content as to where I ran the fuel line it's time for me to install the DEI Fuel Line Wrap and tape off the ends with there really strechy tape. Yes, I know stretch isn't a word.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3f57e4-me.jpg

You can barely see that the right side is taped.

I filled the back with sealant which allowed me to install this by myself.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b401d14-me.jpg

My OCD wouldn't allow me to drop off the bracket till I rounded the corners. So I pulled out my bench grinder and completed the task.

No it's not an illusion the holes are not parallel.

The originally DSE Closeout panel which I am not using has 5/16'' slots and the new one does not !!!! (( insert a ton of profanities here-))


http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b085d4c-me.jpg

So this sucks !!!

Apparently on the new panel I received from DSE the slots are way smaller and of course I already have 5/16 nutserts in the firewall and of course the panel is painted.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c39dbcd-me.jpg

Luckily one hole lined up and I was able to locate all of the area's that need to be opened up.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...64cb5de-me.jpg

I spent about an hour filing and test fitting.

Since four of the bolts are not visible I didn't use ARP bolts.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bf3a958-me.jpg

Fender is going back in hibernation since I want to tighten the bolts one more time before I install the fender.

Steering Shaft Install ( 04-01-22 )
 

One of my daughters friends brother likes working on cars so he offered to help. So we started working on all the projects that require having a second set of hands.

The first project we worked on was the steering column & steering shaft.

Because of my day job I learned about the Mag Daddy Magnets and how useful they can be.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fc367f3-me.jpg

You can barely see them in the picture but they are holding up the wires and you can still move them around till you figure out the final layout.

Battery wiring (04-10-22)
 

Before I started working on the battery terminal wiring I need to run to the auto parts store.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6948da6-me.jpg

On my way home I stopped at McDonalds for a McFlurry.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4ff7e72-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d2c367d-me.jpg

Since wires tend to have strong memory so I made sure the ring terminal was on in the correct orientation.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...16514bd-me.jpg

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0ffd665-me.jpg

I am still amazed at the amount of tools used on every project.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9d20c16-me.jpg

Finally found the DSE Wiper wiring Diagram (04-10-22)
 

Well, I am certain everyone has lost instruction for something. This time I lost the instruction for the DSE Wiper wiring
harness and no one at DSE could find a copy of it for me as it was there Gen I kit. After weeks of searching I finally found
it so today is the day that I will finish that project.

Awesome progress Marty, but as an old cyclist I'm wondering about all those forks!

https://www.lateral-g.net/forums/cac...8d06ea7-me.jpg

So each one of those forks came off of a Fat bike build that was either mine or someone else's bike I built during covid. However, there are
forks on that wall and another wall that date all the way back to the early 90's.

So basically they are garage art.

That is kind and awesome of you, Marty! I am going to check with a local parts store that I heard makes hydraulic lines. If they do not, I may take you up on your offer. The next closest facility is about an hour to hour and a half away.

As organized as your garage is, I'm sure it is tucked away neatly somewhere. You will definitely find it in the last place you look.

Final Install of the Vintage Air Valve Relocation ( 05-08-22 )
 

Next up is the installation of the Vintage Air unit and relocating the valve to the inner fender so it will be easier to service if needed.

So up to the garage attic I go and it's starting to empty.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a00e5db-me.jpg

This is the valve I will be relocating.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7a37799-me.jpg

Since the valve was located in the interior I need to extend the wires out to the inner fender.

I need to enlarge the middle hole to 1/2" so somehow I was able to make a close to perfect circle with a dremel tool.

Back at it.

So this note has been haunting me for a long time and today I finally decided complete the job. Apparently, I forgot to put one bolt in
and I am certain this is a much bigger project then it needs to be as I am certain stuff is going to be in the way.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d829ffd-me.jpg

I took this picture for reference purposes as I am certain I won't be able to remember the belt routing.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7eca06a-me.jpg

I was hoping that all I needed to do was remove the Alternator & bracket. Unfortunately, I was wrong...

and here is the missing bolt

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9c75c4b-me.jpg

Well it looks like more stuff needs to come off.

Passenger Side Kick Panel Close out ( 05-21-22)
 

These are the project that I like doing.

The blue tape is back and you all know how much I like blue tape. I used multiple layers of tape so I would have a very
sturdy template. After I removed it I laid it on a thin piece of E-Flute corrugated with the Flutes in the vertical direction.
As this would allow the bend that I was to have to make to fill the hole in the front.

I roughly sketched the outside that I felt would cover the hole.

You can see that it folds nicely when the flutes are correct orientation.

I wish I would have take a few pictures of the stud that I mounted which hands the closeout panel. Eventually there will
be a nut and washer holding it on. You can also see I added two sheet metal screws to keep the panel from moving.

I painted the back side first as this will allow me to flip it and paint the front in an hour or two.

Very nice. What did u use to “paint” the panel with? ITT looks like a bed liner coating .

Thanks,

Looking good like always 👌

Hi Jimbo,

Good old Rust-Oleum Hammered Black no primer needed.

Syborg TT,
Thanks for the reply. Have u used this before? If so, how durable is it? It looked really good IMHO

First time using it and I hope it works. The good news is this surface won't see any weather so it should hold up quite well.

Yeah, that’s true. (No weather) thanks man
