Default Inner Fenders Back on (( 07-12-20 ))

Once again the inner fenders are going back on.



I am looking for area's that need to be trimmed for better clearance



Yet another while I am here moment. These two relays are for the Vintage air and before they were sitting on the top of
the unit. By mounting them I will be able to access them if there is ever an issue.



So I glued in a couple more Weld-Studs as this will be their new home.



Next up is finding a replacement for the fitting on the compressor.



So it's off to Midwest Hot Rods to see what they have in stock

Default Shortened Driveshaft is back (07-14-20)

07-14-20 I dropped my driveshaft at Village Auto and they took care of shortening it for me.





07-18-20 Time to start working on the brake lines and let me tell you I haven't bent lines in years so I asked Mike if he would come
over to assist me. I also picked up the Flaring tool from Eastwood hoping it would make my life easier.



I pick up some steel lines from my local Napa and maybe one day I will convert these to Stainless Steel.



Best 2nd Gen investment ever would be the DSE Brake Booster with the Kore3 brakes.



Here we go.





Love this tool.

NiCopp is a great material for brake lines, Mercedes, BMW use it as oem, much easier to bend and flare than stainless but won’t rust or corrode like the steel lines

Be careful bending 3/8 for fuel line, it will collapse if bent too tight

Default Back on the brakes lines (( 07-19-20 ))

Working on the line from the Drivers Side to the Passenger Side. I did purchase a factory line and modified it to work with my new layout. Which meant that I needed to straighten some of the bends & curves.



Getting closer



First bend



This was fun.









I plan to mount the lines with the Notchheads hard line clamps.









My End Goals would be to duplicate these lines in Stainless Steel.

Default Time to make some modifications and order a few new parts. (( 07-25-20 ))

My plan is to keep this car simple and order a new steel trans pan with a drain plug and use ARP bolts to make it a little nicer.



Time to mount the Radiator ...



So i need to lower the radiator down so out came the floppy disk.



While I am here I decided to fit the old trans lines and see if I can come up with something a little cleaner looking.



My favorite line that Kenny did.



Fitting the Fan Shroud.



The shroud also doubles as a way yo secure the radiator.





Plan "B" Okay new lower rubber mounts.



Time to remove these tabs.







and there gone....



Fitting the Anvil Radiator Close Out.



More Notes

Default Trying to figure out the top mount for the Radiator (( 08-01-20 ))

Thank God I sell packaging as I have used so much cardboard and chipboard on this version on the car.





Splashing some paint on the cardboard so I see what it might look like.







This is not going to be fun but I plan to cut off the top of the Fan Shroud.







Now I need to clean things up.



I called in the Big Dog "Mr Mike Kelly"







So this was one of the most beautiful nights and I am certain all of my neighbors windows were open and of course we were not exactly being quiet.



So this went on for at least an hour.
