http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4c4901f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3a1de05-me.jpg However, I decided to move the set back plates under the carpet. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e50692f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3230738-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fd2324c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2a11546-me.jpg Quick trip to Home Depot http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0dd5346-me.jpg Well, thankfully I starting doing a nut and bolt check and I found that I forgot to install the nuts on the Vintage Air bracket. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...956265c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9bd160b-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...84d59b9-me.jpg Going back to the set back plates. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9951a3d-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3e87670-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a8b5abe-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...90674e5-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c5e0cd5-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c811d63-me.jpg Cleaning Up the wire looms http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...040cfcb-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c0f3aff-me.jpg |
Cutting the Carpet (( 04-21-24 ))
It has been a crazy couple weeks and I have not had a free moment to work on the car.
Finally, Yesterday I decided to go out to the garage !!! First up trim the carpet on the Drivers Side. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9b04c30-me.jpg Choppy Choppy http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ef4649b-me.jpg Test fitting the Kick Panel http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f9a05e4-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...19514d4-me.jpg |
Vintage Air plastic hoses (( 04-21-24 )) Post Taco's
My plan is to ride today so I decided to make a Taco Run as I new I wanted to Ride today.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e2d4d7c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8e4eec4-me.jpg Never, did I think this was going to be a big job. I figured it would take a few minutes. Boy was I wrong and thank God the seats were not in the car. First one is in and it will be feeding the center of the lower dash. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0d3c523-me.jpg Well, this sucks and I can't find a Band-Aid !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e9cd9c9-me.jpg Electrical tape to the rescue. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...570bb89-me.jpg Routing the duct work up to the underside of the dash. I used yellow zip tie's so I can seem them if I ever have to cut them. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b412488-me.jpg The Mag Daddy Magnet mounts worked great under the dash. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c218bb0-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d178640-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c093a70-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...33e3639-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4e05676-me.jpg Once, I drive the car around a little bit I will most likely install the lower dash that Kenny build. However, I plan to paint it wrinkle black. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3cfca7d-me.jpg Instead of cleaning up my mess I decided to take Remy for a walk. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...06405bb-me.jpg |

Temporary Carpet Install (( 04-27-24 ))
I happen to have a Stock Carpet that will be installed for what is left of the summer. Over the
Winter it is going to a local Interior Shop to do a custom carpet install. Temporary Tape to keep the carpet from shifting. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...edd41a3-me.jpg Test Fitting http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ba2522c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...847176e-me.jpg Temporary Taped installed. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...90ecacf-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6efc014-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...86c5747-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b28937c-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...da8f8b6-me.jpg |
Windshield To Do Lists (( 04-30-24 ))
The lists never seem to end.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...37e638a-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4eac2fb-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6ae429a-me.jpg This one is going to suck !! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cc56b05-me.jpg |
Drivers Door Adjustment (( 05-15-24 )) This is going to Suck
So, The drivers door needs to move forward and I am going to need a second hand. The plan is to get it ready for that 2nd hand.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...acad6e3-me.jpg Pulling the inner fender and moving that back into the attic office. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...05ba38c-me.jpg My overpaid supervisor. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d85efe7-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3c1895e-me.jpg Another while we are here moment. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d5df14f-me.jpg Now it is neatly attached to the Power Steering hose. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...84d7c46-me.jpg I am going to have to wait for a second person to remove the fender and adjust the door forward. Removing the headlight bucket and then the inner fender http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...6e26d70-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...621adf3-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d0a53c4-me.jpg Inner fender back up in the attic office and can you tell I had daughters. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3092fe-me.jpg |
Door Alignment and TMI Seats going in (( 05-27-24 ))
I did the popsicle stick trick to see how far off the door is and labeled the tape with the specific gap at each point.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e94c10b-me.jpg I brought the TMI Seats up from the basement and either I am getting weak or they are heavy. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...72203d2-me.jpg I figured this was a good time to vacuum the carpet with the mini shop vac. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...e7e59a3-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4649fb6-me.jpg Passenger side first. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ed96132-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...16edda9-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7b99824-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...9fc84da-me.jpg |
Prepping for the Fender Removal (( 05-30-24 ))
There is so much that has to be removed just to adjust the drivers door one popsicle stick forward. I think these Fender braces are from Ride-Tech and I love how they look.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a844893-me.jpg Thankfully I installed a nutsert which makes this task much easier. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...922d177-me.jpg All of this has to come off http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a4c02dd-me.jpg Anyone remember who made these ?? http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...2a96eba-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...d45bd3d-me.jpg |

Lower Valance (( 06-01-24 )) Part 1
The lower valance is finally going in and it will start looking like a car again.
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c520208-me.jpg I ended up using Nylock nuts to attach the Fender to the upper valance as the blind nut made the gap way to big. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...abf3cf8-me.jpg The battery needs to come out again !! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...84e5cf6-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cd42d24-me.jpg My helper or am i his helper. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...61de41b-me.jpg Battery is out and I think we both feel the same way about removing the battery. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...42b5304-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3c382ea-me.jpg |

Apparently, they are called Keps Nuts. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...0e128ed-me.jpg As I was walking out I found an old ashtray that reminded me of my Grandfather.

(( Most likely over the winter when I paint the radiator and fan shroud matte black. )) http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...34d38f3-me.jpg I routed the hose under the wiring so it would look a little nicer. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cb88d81-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1d6aa41-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f806d11-me.jpg I added a thick rubber washer under the intake tube. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...8fcd8aa-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a48b13f-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...87c7640-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1aee657-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...7e4bfad-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ff14ab3-me.jpg I think it needs the Tech Flex wrap http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...bf5c896-me.jpg |

The parts in the attic and on the bench is definitely getting smaller.

http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4a9794a-me.jpg The Tape Ball is getting bigger. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...14e88a6-me.jpg Hay Ron, do you remember when you asked me where the passenger mirror went ? http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...07e087e-me.jpg Apparently, I still have to order the ARP bolts for the throttle body. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...4bcb786-me.jpg Towels are ready to go up in the attic. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1f28efe-me.jpg All I have to do is take the "Bad Ass Fender Cover" off the car and it leaves the garage. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b140b80-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f3fe5a8-me.jpg and yes that is the name of the Fender Cover. |
Back in the Garage (( 07-04-24 ))
Back at it and I am trying to put gas in the tank.
These new gas cans suck !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...35abb15-me.jpg I picked up this Gas can Spout to convert it back to the old school style. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...3456f1a-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5e58ce0-me.jpg I have been going back and fourth with Holley about the gas cap part number and apparently a batch of gas caps were packaged incorrectly. I only know this now that I went back to Auto parts store and picked up another cap with the exact same part number and it's completely different. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...ca08abe-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...00cf5cf-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...663b4c6-me.jpg Holy **** it works and it doesn't flop around !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...fe0138a-me.jpg This is the first one l purchsed which has the exact same part number and doesn't work. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c950606-me.jpg Not even close to being the same design. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...5eedc76-me.jpg |
Dimmer Switch (( 07-04-24 ))
Weld Studs are the best !!
http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...cdb5bc8-me.jpg Over the Winter I plan to take it to the local interior for the to a custom carpet which will cover the wiring. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...f074e0d-me.jpg |
Pulling the car off the rack and turning it around. (( 07-04-24 ))
What sounded like a simple task turned into a calamity of errors and mass frustration. When I put the car in reverse
it displayed "N" which was odd as the car drove prior to this. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c0288f9-me.jpg I gave the car a little gas and the car just didn't want to move, it struggle to move as the engine's rpms increased. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...92c0813-me.jpg Then it got worse, as I was backing up the jack pads caught the subframe which pretty much stopped the car. I got out of the car and blocked the front tires and jacked up the rear end so I could move the sliding jack. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...c8e0a97-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...499cbb1-me.jpg http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...dedbe75-me.jpg Thankfully it has rubber pads so no damage was done. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...70a59d4-me.jpg Of course I forgot to move the tire block and once again the car stopped moving. Ugh !!! http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...343dae9-me.jpg Drive is appeartly "4th" Gear on the Dash. Hopefully Dr EFI Andrew can fix that for my brain. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...1ab6968-me.jpg I did manage to get it out of the garage and turn it around and as i was backing up I noticed the Brake Lights where on even though I was not in the car. That will be tomorrows project. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...b61b2f7-me.jpg Then the heat hose started leaking and that is why you start a new project car with distilled water in the radiator as it is much easier to clean up. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...030b264-me.jpg That's it I am going riding. http://garagescene.net/_data/i/uploa...a99b491-me.jpg |
