Alright I know it's been months since I made a post but I'm finally working on the car again! Honestly it feels great to be able to do this again after busting my ass for work for months and then having school on top of that. My goal is to start the car before the end of the year. As of right now, it's looking like that's a realistic goal to meet.
The shark bite suspension and steeroids have been showing up for the past couple weeks. The only part that hasn't shown up is both the upper and lower control arms but the company said they were supposed to ship last Friday. I expect to see them soon. Also, Ecklers started carrying the retrosound sums radio and had a sale last week. So I now have the last piece of the stereo coming to get it fully functional. Good thing too because I sold the original radio to a guy in Missouri that's restoring a t-top.
Some things I've been working on...
Got the fuel line completely hooked up to the engine.
Rebuilt the crankcase ventilation and evap canister setup with braided stainless steel AN hoses and fittings.
Finished wiring the water pump, fans, electric choke, and AC system in the engine compartment.
Reconditioned the gas peddle and finished hooking up the throttle cables.
Pulled the speaker wire I had ran to the back and reran just the RCA cable and remote wire.
Nearly finished wiring up the interior (including the transmission TCC circuit).
Tried to follow the BTO instructions for the TV Made Easy system by changing the spring for the TV cable only to figure out that I couldn't which made a big mess... need to contact them about that...
Started putting the exhaust wrap on the headers. One is done but didn't have enough for the other.
That's it for now! Pictures will be posted later with more updates as I continue working.
