Been down with the flu for a week.... just going to work and coming home and vegging.  Still waiting on the rest of my suspension from Arraut which was ordered January 9th.

But was able to get the rear radiators installed not much else.

[Simple Man]

Another REDO is the radiators.  Currently the cooling setup is in the front of the car.

Yes the that trunk lid is a REDO....so is the hinge, the wiper mounting bracket, the headlight wiring.........

[Simple Man]

The area by the gas tank inlet is a REDO as well.  The way it was cut, left jagged metal that was rubbing and quite abrasive on the fuel filler line. 

More metal was cutout and a grinder used.  Rubber edge trim was purchased from McMaster Carr, to cover the metal edge and protect the new fuel filler line

Next!

[Simple Man]

So the fuel filler line was a REDO as well

Used filler line for sale !! Cheap, Beautiful!!

Purchased flexible fuel filler line form "Filler Neck Supply" .  The line was wrapped in Heat reflective fiberglass tape.

The over powering smell of gasoline in my shop is gone!!

[Simple Man]

So The obamination is cut out.

Metal plates used to secure piece.

Fiber glassed from the rear

Dremel tool used to "V" front side and screw holes

Dyna Glass

Rage gold

primer

[Simple Man]

Before the engine goes back in the fuel filler system needed a REDO!

Oops I turn the gas cap and it falls off.

I know what ya mean, I had mine in the air for so long I forgot how low to the ground it was supposed to be.  Was about two weeks before I got used to it being down there.  hee hee.

Looking good man!

Thanks,
Coop

[Simple Man]

Suspension parts cheap

Will have to cut the sheet metal and fabricate a new piece so the alternator doesn't rub .

[Simple Man]

Did a test fit of the engine today.  Need to move the upper engine mounts over a couple of inches. 

[Simple Man]
