Getting closer, Marty!

I am excited for you!

Marty,
Your getting a lot done. That’s got to feel amazing. Are you going to be running inner wheel wells ? I couldn’t imagine getting the detailed engine compartment dirty.

Colonel McFly looked weary as he put the finishing touches on his $6mm Camaro…

It sure does and yes I plan to run the inner fenders. I am keeping them off for now as it will be easier to check for leaks and find things that I missed.

Marty,
What size shop do you have? It looks pretty big. Great digs to wrench in.

Thanks,
Jimbo

The garage from the front looks like a standard two car garage. However, it’s Forty feet deep with a 12 foot ceiling in the back. I have a sliding curtain wall that allows me to heat just back half of the garage. If I had to do it over again I would make it 22 x 44 which would allow me to have two full two car garages with a full work bench on the back wall.

I am getting really close to starting this car with Andrew. Hopefully this weekend.

Just in case all this all goes bad I asked my buddy Erik (Fireman/EMT) what Fire Extinguisher I should get and this is what he recommended. So I will be picking one up this week.





A long time ago I ordered a set of black headlight rings from Anvil and when I attempted to install them with the original hardware
the bolts were not long enough. So once again I am heading back to Ace Hardware for some Stainless Steel hardware.



For reference I am installing the DSE Truck Lights.





I misplaced one of the plastic things that the headlight trim ring screws into so I will be searching all of my bags of parts later today or sometime in the near future.





This is what I will be looking for.



It's the little things that seem to slow projects down.

Thankfully I have lots of ARP hardware hanging on my wall.

I needed to add a spacer so I used four stainless steel washer and to make it easy I Super Glued them together. I found that if you
stack and glue each one on a bolt with three little dots of Super Glue it works perfect.

I spent a lot of time planning the Vintage Air hose routing on this car. You can see the hose is secured in two location on the front
of the core support and the other on the bumper bracket. If you look closely on the left you can see that I installed a longer bolt in
the battery tray bolt that protrudes through the core support which allows me to secure the line.

Looks great Marty. Are those DSE Truck Lights LED? I seems Will’s 69 427LS TT build had Truck Lights. LEDs that he had looked fricken awesome. By chance do you recall the price? Ball parks fine.
