Been neglecting this project for a couple weeks.

I did manage to get all of the fuel system finished up as well as a majority of the wiring all wrapped up for the Fuel System, battery, and engine/alternator.

I had a friend machine down the factory coolant temp sender to 12mm so it will thread directly into the factory LS head. Still need to figure out a solution to the oil pressure sender. I have an adapter from 16mm to 1/4" pipe but the actual sender will not fit there so I think I need a 45° or a 30° fitting to make it clear the back of the manifold. Seems like I am putting a lot of work into making the factory gauges work.... I am trying to keep the interior as much 1960's as possible.

Met with a painter last night since I cannot seem to get motivated to put it all together like this. It needs paint of some kind on it.

Also I picked up some 17" FR500 wheels 9" Fronts and 10.5" rears.

275 on the front and 315's on the rear with plenty of room to go.







These will get it on the road but working with Jason from Rushforth on some Rated X 20"ers....
