We are waiting.

Unfortunately, there isnt anything fascinating to show.

Underhood fasteners have been ordered...
Fuel lines and regulator is in place...
A/C accumulator appearance "upgrade" is underway... , btw
Radiator support had to be "adjusted" and is at the body shop...
Radiator hose jewerly has been ordered...
I have another small front fascia tweak taking place...
Waiting for a few more brackets from the powder coater...
New coil location cant be confirmed until the new coils show up...
Brakes are in place and connected...
Blah, blah, blah...

The real pain the ass is that most of the items on order create a snowball effect in what can be done next. For example, the new bolts to secure the shock tower have to go in before I finish the master cylinder install, which effects my fuel reg, which effects swapping out valve covers, etc, etc. Lol, I just today found bolts I want to use....to complicate things, I wanted a special washer....those wont be here until next week.

See why I drink

I'll put 10 on it

$10 sounds good..

Justified ball bustin fellas.....but Ive been busy.

Return line is in place due a decided location for the fuel reg. Trying to keep things clean, I modified the stock retainers to accept the -6 line. Pleased on how it came out...




Speaking of fuel reg location, it took several trial and error positions but I FINALLY put it somewhere that made sense. So simple it's embarrassing how long it took to decide where it should go...

[OVRKILL]

Note the reg bracket above....I made it out of a piece of aluminum stock laying around. Cut, bend, drill, radius, powder...done.




New valve covers are in place too. Naturally, nothing plug-n-play. Prototype gaskets from Cometic - production covers come with an o-ring style gasket....gonna be screwed if I have to pull these damn things, needed to find a oil fill and air breather too....which took weeks




Brakes are finally bolted up as well....another unexpected pain in the ass. Over torqued the bango bolt....a little

[OIF1VET]

Looking good. Quit updating while I am trying to post. Lol
