Default Aeromotive Part # 15695 Fuel Pressure fitting ( 01-25-22 )

A good friend has been using this fitting on the fuel rail for years so he suggested I buy one.







I like how it keeps it close to the rail.

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







If you don't mind me asking.... how much did that grill cost? What was the lead time?

Not a problem at all.

The cost was $650.00 and it was 3d printed. Lead time was about 4 months as he was backed up. PM me and I can give you his name on facebook and you can message him.

When I saw it months ago I really wanted it and I at one point I wasn't sure if it was going to happen and I messaged the gentleman and he said he had one that was ready to ship. So I quickly sent him money and a couple days late it showed up. I was so excited when it arrived and I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like on the car.

Default Filler Neck & Kicker Sound System ( 01-29-22 )

After searching every I went back to look at pictures to see if I could figure out what and how it was packed. Thankfully, I take
a lot of pictures and I found a picture that I took of the parts and they were in a red bag. So I went on the hunt for a red bag !!!

Found it !!!





Moving on to the Holley Tank Vent





Token Remy picture



Without fear I am going back into the trunk and hopefully I won't get stuck in the trunk this time. The plan is to install weather pack
connectors on the all of the wires for the Kicker system.



Yes, I am in the trunk.





I use twist ties till I know things are permanent.



The speakers wires are all tucked neatly in the trunk and hopefully this will be the last time I have to climb in the trunk.

Default A little bit of everything (02-05-22 )

A couple weeks ago I was reading one of the new magazines that are still in print and low and behold they shared a picture of
how Holley wants you to plumb the tank vent.

Now if I could actually figure out the part number for the fuel tank filler neck.





Since I am still using the factory Dimmer switch I ordered the all black version of this one.





It is finally time to bring the Anvil Carbon Inner fenders down from my Attic Office and yes the kitchen table is the perfect place to put them.





I needed to increase the gap in between the Holley Tank and the floor. So I used the Eastwood Sound deadening to increase the space just a little bit.





It's a good thing these trunk floors are so amenable.








Hopefully this will be the last time the radiator goes in the car.





So I forgot to flush the radiator so off to the spray wash to flush it out. I should mention it was only 6 degree's out and thankfully the spray
wash uses hot water. This of course made this a very tolerable.





I decided to lay the Anvil radiator cover on and it looks really nice. I will have to re-clear the radiator close out panel as it has yellowed.

Default Anvil Carbon Inner Fenders Going in for the last time. ( 02-06-22 )

Just ONE DAY later and the inner fenders are off the kitchen table.




I placed the towel on the frame to protect the Powder Coating as they only sit about a 1/4' above the frame. I am going
to address this later by trimming some off the inner fender.





In order to install the passenger side the Billet Battery Tray will have to be removed.








I wanted to add a larger fender washer however I didn't have the correct size so I had to drill out the washer. This was my Grandfathers
and I remember using it in his garage when I was a kid. My buddy Ben was kind enough to build me a rolling tool cart and he made a very
cool removable mount.








Yes, The blue tape is back.

Default Holley Tanks Vent Hose Clamps ( 02-06-22 )

When we mocked up the hoses on the Holley Tank I didn't install line clamps. I picked up a few line clamps from Napa and headed out to the garage.



I really like easy projects.



So do you guys think I should put some sort of foam to close out this area ?



Moving on to the final fan wiring.



Yep, It came back out as I needed to install a bolt & line clamp.





I am still trying to decide if I am going to paint this thing or not.





The line clamp routes the wires safely and securely under the core support.





So I used one of the setting on the iPhone to take this picture. It make it look like my 1 Car stall is 20 feet wide.

Yes.....closed cell (wetsuit-like density) to prevent high pressure (fan forced) air under hood going to low pressure area in front of radiator when stationary.
While you're at it......open up the core support rad attach holes and install grommets to prevent twist in the panel from tearing up your tank ends. Existing bolts and washers but need nylon nuts.
Also a ground wire to the rad to prevent internal corrosion from electrical charge in coolant.
