Since the transmission lines are close to the downpipe on the header I decided to wrap the lines in DEI Heat Sleeve.

Looking at these hard lines I now know that I am going to have to paint them.
Just one more thing to add to the never ending to do list.

So this side didn't go as smoothly as the passenger side.

This tool is a life saver.

Hinge is off and reference marks are set.

This side was not fun.

Both hinges are installed and lets just say the door is way off and I needed a break.

So I off to the taco joint!

I called it a night when I got home and I even broke my rule of cleaning up every night.

Since yesterday didn't go so well I decided to make an AC Line.

I plan to crimp the fitting in the engine bay once I have all of the lines in the car.

Time to installed the Notch-Head line clamps. Drilling the hole in the frame with the itty-bitty drill bit is very very scary.

So I started making notes on the car for things I need to address.

I also need to plug this holes since I am planning on using the Wildwood electric parking brake calipers.

I will be using this wire when I install the Fessler RS light in the RS modified upper valance.

I also need to extend the line as my goal is to hide/clean up as much as of the wiring I can behind the grill.

In order for me to finish the last couple holes I need a right hand drive drill and it is also nice to have an excuse to buy new tools.

I decided to install "Hot Rod Sleeve" on the drivers side brake line.

Okay I was hungry so I ran inside and made myself a health breakfast.

I also gave Tobin a call at Kore3 to order new flex lines.

Jumping back on the Holley EFI Wiring.

What is that song ???

Wire Wire Everywhere a Wire, Messing up the scenery, losing my mind.

So my goal is to make all of this look as clean as possible and work.

More notes

As you all know I am fairly organized and since my memory sucks (chemo-brain) I have a binder for instructions and another for all of my To Do Lists.

I love my blue tape.

I've learned that is you write the not immediately and put it in the place that it needs to be there is a good chance you won't forget the task and get burned later.

I will be installing Tessa tape on both sides of this line clamp to stabilize the line so it doesn't move back and forth and pinch the fuel pump fuse. The Holley ECU has a direct power for the fuel pump which is very nice.

It's a cute little wire.

Good news I just so happen to have a green 14 gauge wire in my box. (Note this wire was not to spec and I ended up using this wire to trigger a relay.)

Of course I labeled it under the dash and in the trunk.

So I am finally coming back to the A/C lines.

Looks like you are hitting it hard Marty.

I'm about to do my Torino hinges and not looking forward to it.

Thank you and I am been trying to get out to the car every chance I can even if it's only for an hour. I think it Mr Steilow that said an hour here or there is still progress.

On a side note make sure you do the top hinge first. I learned that the hard way when I went over to the drivers side. What I should have done was replace the bushing on the top and check the door alignment and I needed to re-adjust this is when you do it. I did the bottom first on the drivers side and well it went south really fast or closer to the earth. So far south I couldn't even shut the door. I eventually walked away and called Larry (Body Guy) and he laughed at me and said well son you screwed up. Replace the top, gently try to close the door and if doesn't line up lift up or lower the door and try to get it the top hinge set. Then you do the bottom hinge and it will be much easier.

Lesson Learned !!!!
