Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread

Lots of progress today. I'm so close now I can almost smell the exhaust fumes. What once was garbage, is soon to be used again.

Alternator, installed $1 (stupid bolt for bracket)
Power steering, done
Throttle, done $3
Distributor, done except for power wire.
Got new cap and rotor, plugs and wires installed. ($37)
Fan, done.
Radiator support, installed.
Battery tray, installed.
Battery, bought used and tested good ($27).
Misc hoses, connectors, etc. ($26)

Spent $94, total now up to $250.

My to do list is down to swapping gas tanks, hooking up battery cable to starter, figuring out the under hood wiring mess, hook up tranny lines and vacuum lines and a few other odds and ends. I'm shooting for Wednesday, wish me luck. The wiring mess may be the biggest obstacle.
