Without a doubt! They keep asking when it will be done so I can drive them to school. :thumbsup:

I was also able to make a little more progress on the AC and heater hoses.

This is a rough beginning for the mock up of the pass through, but hopefully it turns out how I’m picturing it to go.

Absolutely amazing car! I can't wait to see it finished!

Introducing BISKWIK
 

Hello Everyone! Well, the cowl hood is no more. I ended up trading it for a steel hood. I really like the lines of the ‘61 hood, more than I like a cowl hood apparently. It is not perfect, but it is factory steel and I’m good with that. Pics are from the person I traded with. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...449fe4d607.jpg

Now that I have the hood, I need to do a little work to it. It does have a bad spot on the underbracing that I would like to repair. I do not have access to a bead roller nor do I know anyone around here. Do any of you all know anyone I could get a small patch piece from that would replace this section?

If you can or if you know someone who can, PLEASE let me know! Thank you!

I am also working on modifying a brake booster bracket to work for power brakes. I did not take pics of the interference, but let’s just say it was sitting in #7 coil.
I managed to butcher the bracket and modify the mount orientation to gain clearance.

This is the original bracket

This is what I was able to do. Forgive my skills, I am teaching myself how to weld with this build and I don’t have a bunch of fancy tools. Just getting things done!

It is just tacked in place now until I can check fitment.

The bracket modification gained about 1 1/2” more clearance outward.

I did not feel like dealing with dripping brake fluid, so I just bent the master cylinder out of the way. I am making new brake lines anyway.

This is my next hurdle to clear…

Wish me luck!

Much can be assumed just looking @ images.
What exactly is the 'next hurdle' ?

That was my mistake. I posted before finishing my statement.

I need to work on the clearances for the mounting bolt and brake booster pushrod. The linkage will need to share the same general area and I need to figure out the geometry of how I can get everything to work cohesively.

Man! It has been a minute since I’ve updated. I do apologize for that. The kids got out from school and I haven’t worked on it since they’ve been out until today. I got a little bit accomplished.

I put some heat shield on the starter wires that run by the manifold.

As you can see, I have the passenger manifold installed finally along with the oil dipstick, installed the plugs and checked the fit of the plug wires. These will do for now, but I my go with a ceramic boot in the future.

I did not like how I had the Terminator Max harness ran into the engine compartment, so I purchased the billet bulkhead from Sharpe Performance. It s a really nice piece and install was fairly simple.

I picked up a couple more coils that I was lacking and installed them. There is plenty of clearance on the driver’s side for the plug wire boots. I also ran my charge cable from the alternator. I just need to wire it up next.

I also managed to get a little more of the sound deadener installed. I will be tidying up the wiring shortly and installing the gauge cluster.

The Vintage Air unit will be installed but not wired up. The harness for the controls is for an AC equipped car. Mine did not have AC originally, so I will need to purchase the correct harness and controls. That will be put on the back burner as I need to allocate funds to getting BISKWIK running. Hopefully I’ll be able to fire it up soon!

I’ll try to get more work done soon and update everyone when I can.
