This guy said " hide that awful bunch o wires


Rough wiring will get it looking good for final. Built this cover to hide most of it. It will be anodized black on last stage ,



Got this guy done
Sometimes a solution creates another problem such the case with CF shaft now it has no clearance for hose and clamp. Got to raise it about a 1/4"

How about one of the Gate's shrinking hose clamps?

Hi there Wayne
Here is how I went about it. It got it cut, raised 1/4" , welded it and finally open up inside with a carbide tip
Good idea on those clamps I'll be using them on all water lines.

Still digging
Started to finalize all gaps , cut header panel to bring fenders closer to hood and tuck them real nice around grill headlight area. Could not get driver fender to fit half way decent , so I found out bottom corner had been patched and when welded it was tweaked like crazy, than found structure was rusty so I figure cut the whole thing of and start from scratch. Got Momo steering wheel bolted seat on make sure it was where I want to be and got Flaming river colum complete to the rack, had to reshape center of dash due to diameter difference from stock, made a close out panel where colum meets dash. Mirrors are in ( got that idea from DSE). Both doors are gapped , not final . Gap is less than 1/8" They open and fit perfect but I know with paint it will be an issue. For now. I just like that tight look. Hoping to finish trunk gaps but maybe replacing lid.
Next I will start setting up glass all around , make sure it all plays well together. making space for power steering cooler, doing some electrical.
Begin planning interior. Maybe moving roll bar a bit out of the way. All well a bunch of BS go come






Found a can of that spray in one of those big shop's recycle bin


Got the block in there , ran wire inside ( right at kick panel area and to the trunk)
