I got my oil sender all set up for my gauges along with the temp sender in the manifold. I have to get a 90 degree elbow to make it work. The block is made for this elbow. I bet the factory does it the same way.
I got the master cylinder all mounted up for mock up of the brake lines. I made a bracket out of 1/8 inch aluminum and mounted my proportioning valve and ran the brake line all the way to the rear. What a pain in the ass! I bought the jegs 25 ft roll and had my crapsman flare tool break at 11:30 at night!!!! They replaced it
I went ahead and mocked up my radiator and breather tank just to get an idea on my firewall set up.
I have done a bunch of misc crap. Trimmed the glove box insert so it would fit. Does anything bolt on these cars??? Have one door panel that has already been on and ready to go. The clips weren't even fricking close. This door panel was ridiculous. I spent the better part of the night on it. The drivers side fits nice! Screws through the handle and carpet will hold it on since I am running a deluxe interior. I found out I have to change window regulators so they are setting in a box in the garage. I did put on the outside window trim and quarter window rubber, rear license plate bracket, rear lock cylinder, new dome light and bezel. Some other misc crap. It's been a lot of fun so far.
Looks great! Frank and crew did a great job on the paint…I love black when it’s done right!
I have been trying to figure out what color to paint my engine compartment (Body color which is Tuxedo black or semi–gloss black or flat black). Looks like yours is semi gloss…I like it!
Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the updates with us.

looks awesome man, if i may say something, what size core on the radiator? and what size fan? generally twin 11's barely cool a big hp bb, on vins car we a twin 13 inch fans and a be cool radiator and it does its job but it runs 190-200
cant wait to see more good luck
I appreciate it guys......I have my doubts on the radiator as well. I scored a good deal on it over a year ago from this guy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-69...spagenameZWDVW It's a two row and really is a pretty nice piece in person. He has 99.7 percent feedback and over 2000 sales on radiators. I don't believe everything I read. I will definitely let you know. I scored it for like 400 bucks with the fan.
I wouldn't go past semi gloss unless you spend a lot of prep time on the radiator support...etc If you need to touch it up...out comes the semi gloss can.
Hell yes..... Waiting on three brake pieces and I can plumb the rest. Then I can feasably stab the engine. If I can talk Frank into sending me my damn wiring harness I'll be set. Better get a tranny coming as well. I also decided to remove the plastic off the front end. It wasn't exactly sealed and did a great job protecting the paint but thanks to Curtis I took it off. The clear coat went on about 60 days ago. Probably cured but not taking any damn chances! I'll just have to get some fluffy towels.

I got that info from Anthony (AWR68) so right or wrong he gets the credit...or blame, however you want to look at it.
