Well we have been working on the test fit damn it's like a jigsaw puzzle with all the new things we have added and mapping everything out. I think we have it all figured out and I'm off to start tracking down braided lines and fittings.
set the fender on to see how the lines needed to run

driver side will go in attached to the motor







Headman Headers 1 7/8" dia.

Vintage Air will mount in front of the radiator

Time to weld the brackets to hold the fans

Need to get the 2nd belt

Well we all had a nice holiday and took some time to come up with some solutions and fab up where the lines are all going to run the goal is to keep the engine bay nice and clean so we decided to hide the lines along the lower part of the firewall and along the frame rails. After experimenting with some materials we decided to use 3/4" copper tubing so we could get the bends.





















This is all fitted up next will be the blending in

Getting close for color to be added in the engine bay just needed to go over one more time to make sure we were ready...







Will have some pictures of the color in the next day or two but I did leave you a hint

Well I have the opportunity to go EFI on the car so I'm always game for being the beta tester for a new product and being able to take mile mpg up into a respectable range is going to be interesting so here's the manifold it's a Edelbrock Victor Jr single plane dropped it off to the polisher a couple of weeks ago. also dropped the engine off to get the proto-type parts mad up the motor will now be picked up and we can continue getting the front suspension installed and continue on with the painting
