[Boss 5.0]

So I have started the wiring on the car. Definitely not my forte. I have some help from a good friend that has wired tons of hot rods, so all will be good.




I decided I couldn't live with the coil packs black. They stuck out like a sore thumb, so I took them back off and painted them body color with matte clear.







I started the plumbing of the heater lines from the engine to the fender well. I am using the stainless hose and ends from Gotta Show. Pretty nice stuff.




I installed the parts on the back of the car. Anyone that has been following along knows I pie cut the bumper ends and reshaped them. While not fitted to the new Pro Touring 3/16 gap, this is tons better than any factory Maverick. Love the look of that chrome from Advanced Chrome Plating in Tn. Also installed the trunk lock key and the stainless fuel filler from Johnson's Hot Rod Shop.










I had found a perfect set of NOS tinted glass for the car. Everything but the windshield, which is fine since it is available still. Here is the painted 1/4 window frames all painted and the glass urethaned into the frame.




I have 13" disc brakes at all four corners from Engineered Components Inc. They use all GM parts so if I ever have an issue while traveling everything can be sourced from any good parts store. Here is what the factory, very rough cast caliper is like from GM. No thanks, so I spent 2 hours per caliper smoothing them. Then when done I painted them all body color.
