Update
I've been working on a few different areas of the car. I painted the upper and lower dash.
I got the Vintage Air evaporator and condenser installed. I'll wrap up the HVAC once the engine is in and I can hook up the compressor.
I painted the engine block and oil pan. Finally decided on an engine accessory drive and got that installed along with the motor mounts and starter.
**(In ref to the engine photo, do I still need to install the balancer center bolt???)
I'm mounting the battery in the trunk and making a mount for it. It'll be mounted in the center area of the trunk on an angle. I'm using an AGM battery due to the angle. The mount will have a starter solenoid and battery cut off attached as well. Still need to paint it. (Don't judge my aluminum welds- I'm new to MIG with a spool gun )
Also, bleeding this new brake system has been an exercise in patience. I've been using a vacuum bleeder with mediocre results. My son and I did the traditional 2 man bleeding last night and I was getting good fluid at all calipers, but the pedal is still soft. I've still got some work to do there.
My clutch and flywheel showed up so I plan to install those this week. Hope to get the trans installed also and drop the engine/trans in this weekend.
