Well the limit strap is hung, and the bump has been converted to a 2" bump. It is now in it's place with new seals and good oil. Getting a bit closer. Hopefully I can have this side done here next month. Still have to finish brake lines and bolt back up the fender and inner liner. I did get this side clearanced, so the engine bay should stay cleaner.

More progress.

After plugging everything back in, i think I may move the windshield fluid tank and the coolant reservoir mount and make a shield that can pull air from this or the 460 intake.

Made the other spacer for the bump and added better oil. Its now in the holder filled with nitrogen.
Cut the threads down and received my chamfer bit. Works pretty good. First i cut with my portaband, then hit with the sander snd camfer bit.

Its back under its own weight after 4 years. It sid drop when i sawed the wheel so the cut and turns should be good. I need to finish passenger brake lines then redo vacuum lines. Silicone intakes has the same stuff i used last night. Then the headers don’t quite align with the y pipe so need to fix that. Getting closer though.

Finished the silicone vacuum lines, smog equipment put back, and continue to try to keep the spaghetti an organized chaos. Cleaned up and repainted the battery box and support, stipped away over 20 years of brake dust off 2 rims and continued to put bolts where i think they go. Almost ready to be spun around.

Just catching up. Great work. I'm watching and learning. Digging the OG rims.

Thank you. Make sure you double check my work hahah. They had a boatload of brake dust so i ordered some hd cleaner and it worked real well. I also got the electrical all done and now have power. Hoping to drain the old fuel soon and fire.

Thank you. I always found good people here but its so quiet. So much is being done on social media and its convoluted. If people are watching and learning, ill keep it up to date. Thanks!

Awesome build, I follow along quietly as well, thank you for posting your updates

[hobbyturnedobsession]

Well thank you. Ill keep updating then. Should have it fired this weekend if i get the time! Kids are going to try sprint cars. To say i live vicariously would be an understatement.

Ha! Its alive! I put headers with 2 1/2” flanges so i had to cut the ends off the y pipe and change them. Not really any pictures but lock to lock its butter smooth with the new steering. I pulled a rookie mistake and had the 1 & 2 wires flipped. Makes for a nice popping noise. Took me a quick minute to figure that one out. Now it fires right up even with old gas. The ac still blows cold too. Next is to finish off the brake lines and rest of the body bolts.
