Default DSE Top Post Battery Terminals ( 02-13-22 )

So I have finally decided that I am going to use the DSE Battery Terminals as they are the nicest looking and I just like them.







Now that I have made my final decision I can complete the wires that are going to the battery terminals.



Fan Relay all wrapped & labeled in Tech Flex wire wrap.



Playing with the wire routing to see if I like it.



Trimming the weld stud.





Hard to tell in this picture but if you look closely you can see I added a line clamp to secure the wire behind the battery tray.



The fan relay trigger runs under the battery tray and I will connect it to the holley ECU wires that are running on top of the inner fender.



I am also looking at options for the Vintage Air Coolant & AC Line.



Need a break from the car so I ran over to the Eastwood store and picked up some Flexible strip caulk that I am going to use on the back of the Bolt On DSE Firewall closeout panel.

Default Shiftworks Shifter Cable & Detent thingy ( 02-17-22 )

I needed a simple project as I didn't have much time to work on the car. So I decided I would install the shifter cable and the Detent piece.

















The 30'' cable seems very long. I am going call them to see if they have a 27" or 28" cable as I think the shorter cable will work better.

Default Plugging away at all the little things ( 03-03-22 )

Man are these hard to find and I have five Autoparts stores within four miles of my house and the good news is I finally
found them at Autozone. I needed one for the radiator and one for the over flow tank. I like these as I can attach a 3/8's hose
so I can control where the coolant goes if I have to drain the radiator or overflow tank.



Of course I couldn't get the old one out so a quick trip to my buddy Ben's house and the job of getting the old one out has begun.







A couple wraps of "Oatey FASTape" to prevent the fitting from getting stuck again.



Another Quick trip to Ace Hardware for some small hardware and of course I need some animal crackers







Yes, another quick note.



I use the "Pushnut" bolt retainers to hold the bolt to the tank which makes installing the tank much easier. I also installed
a layer of cork on the tank bracket to protect the paint on the core support.







Has anyone use one of these as I might try this so I can bleed the brakes by myself ?

Your attention to detail makes me feel like I'm in your garage with you building this thing! Only I'm in California where it's in the mid 70's right now!! 🤣

Default G-Force Crossmember going back in. ( 03-05-22 )

I needed to remove the G-Force Crossmember to slot the holes so the bolts would go in a little bit easier.



Of course Remy was supervising the entire job until he saw a squirrel.



I am happy we designed the exhaust so it could be easily removed.



Remy is very happy with used the Lift-Jack to support the transmission.





Noah Hard at Work



Back to the Powder Coater to get recoated.



Retraining the charge lead for the optima charge as it wants to go the opposite way. So I wrapped and zip-tied to so it would lose it's shipping memory.



Now that I am 100% happy with the fuel line routing I going to tape the ends of the DEI heat sleeve.



Yet another to do list.



I decided I am going to use the stock Trans pan so I will be ordering ARP 6 Point hardware to match the rest of the hardware on the car.

I like to use heavy heat shrink for sleeve ends. Even the best tape always seems to come undone, plus the heat shrink sleeve looks really clean.

WOW! Such an amazingly phenomenal and attention-to-detail project! There are so many great ideas and "money is no object" goodies, I don't even know where to begin!

I am definitely looking forward to your finished product and applying many of your ideas to my build! Although, mine will be more on the "budget" side. My money tree died, so I need to pick up more shifts at the Fire Station.

Thank you and it's hard to believe I have been collecting parts and working on this car for the last 14 years. I really hope to have it running and driving this summer.

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.
