MJ,



You’re welcome…cuz anyone who does this to himself building a car deserves a laff!

So totally not necessary but I did it and it looks really nice as it made the lines disappear.







He's almost full grown.







While I cleaning up the lines I noticed the passenger side line was really close to the trans coolant lines. So added a couple washers under the bracket to raise the line up.






I finally received the black dipsticks from Lokar. So I figured I would install them while I was here.







Trans Dipstick.

Looks great,it’s almost like a step-by-step instructions for my build.

I have been going back and fourth on this for weeks if not months.

Do I have Mario paint the Radiator, Fan Shroud and A/C Condenser or leave it natural for this version of the car.



Today I am going back and touch up all of the holes I drilled in things. No reason to let things start rusting.





I am also removing the blue tape on the frame for the last time.



So I learned this trick when I was still in High School. My buddy's father put grease on the core support body mount to stop the creaking that old cars made and still make.





It's hard to tell what I am doing here but this was the only way I could get the washer on the Core Support upright brackets.







It's hard to believe I used all of these tools to install three bolts

I had mine painted eggshell black on Malitude and loved the look. Plan on doing the same with the current 70 Chevelle. Depends on the colors in the engine compartment; if everything is black already I might opt for leaving it aluminum.

Good news I was able to get the MSD LS Truck Wires



Yesterday 11-28-21 didn't end well as my dog ran into the slider, has a concussion and I had to stay up all night with him. The
good thing is our Ring Camera caught it and we submitted it to America's Funniest Video and they accepted it.

**** Post AFV airing I will add the video ****

So back to the drivers side and I will just do pictures as you all know what it looks like.









I also noticed that core support was hitting the support bracket



Fixed

I currently have the DSE terminal and I love how they look however is there something better is what my brain
keeps saying. So I jumped on some car audio websites and found some cool options.

I really like these as they allow you to connect ring terminals.







Option 1



Option 2

So way back in February of 2021 I saw this 3D printed honeycomb grille on Taylor's 2nd Gen. I messaged him on Facebook and asked
him where and how do I get one. He told me he 3D printed it and he would be selling them. I was lucky enough to get in line to get one
and the quality is excellent and I can not wait to install it on the car.







Here is the grille that was shipped to me the first week of December. To say I am excited is an understatement.
