Thank you and steel as many idea's as you want as I have been watching so many builds for the last 20+ years which have given me all of these crazy idea's. As for your car it is freaking awesome. My dad had a NOS restoration 62 Bel Air Bubble Top that he recently sold and your car is one of my favorites as I love the Flat Roof cars. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
That is awesome! It is definitely a masterpiece my friend! Your first drive will be worth the wait, I’m sure!

Thank you for the compliment! I hope I can do it justice and achieve what I am picturing. I want to do a lot, but it will also be a budget build. I’m going to have to work more OT at the Fire Department for sure!

Default Vintage Air Hose Routing ( 03-06-22 )

It's getting closer day by day by day.

Today's project is to figure out how I plan to run the coolant and AC lines.





Training this line so it lays better in the inner fender.



Hiding the switch behind the battery.









Plenty of clearance

Default Battery Wiring Clean Up ( 03-06-22 )

Seriously I am getting really good at taking this car apart. Once again I am taking the positive off the mock up battery.



I slipped over some heat shrink that I will eventually heat up once every thing is complete in this area. If all works out like I plan it may look really cool or it will be a total disaster.






I need to lengthen the indicator wiring as I am routing them so they can't be seen through the grill. The good news I have extra wire so this will be a simple task.



Animal crackers just because I was hungry and I found them in the cabinet.

Default Cooking my Heater Hoses ( 03-07-22 )

Since they were wound up in a tight circle and I was tired of fighting them. I hung them and turned up my Forced Air Heater and warmed them up for a couple hours. The good news it worked and they un-curled quite nice.



Since I am not painting the radiator for this version of the car. I decided I was going to smooth out these scratches.



couples minutes later. Success !

Default Final install of the custom Edelbrock Exhaust ( 03-13-22 )

Yet another while I am here task. Somehow and I don't know how the rod ends where not aligned so off they have to come to align them. I of course thought this was going to be an easy project. Well it was not and it was not even fun !!













So remember if you are ever putting these in make sure the are parallel.



Hopefully this will be the last time I have to remove and install the exhaust.





Redoing the Fuel Vent.

Default Anvil Inner Fenders ( 03-18-22 )

I need to install the Anvil Inner fenders to make sure the vintage air lines wouldn't be in the way of the battery cables.





Yep, they are.



I forgot who suggest this but I did ground the radiator



Working on the last Vintage Air line.



This is me trying to get the some of the memory out of the line.



I hope this is the last fitting I buy.





I need to install a small strip of cork behind this as it bounces off the core support while I am driving.







All better



Remember these as I will be using these later in the build.





Since I don't like metal on metal I purchased this Bib Gaskets.

It's coming along nicely Marty! I like how you mounted the drier. I am not really liking how VA has the drier mounted to the condenser. I may the same as you so it's a bit more solid. My issue will be crimping all the fittings.

Your attention to detail is a discipline. That's for sure.

The rubber ducky is a nice touch as well.

Great attention to detail as usual. If that drier has been unsealed for any appreciable length of time it should probably be replaced.
