Well I've been working right along, but I got busy and quit posting pictures, so let me try to catch up.

Cut to fit Spark Plug wires:

FLcustom10 · 02-20-2012, 11:06 PM

Probably should have left a little more length for timing adjustment, but I think it's OK.

FLcustom10 · 02-20-2012, 11:19 PM

Found the spring and clip I needed for the Jack at the junk yard. I still need to find a bag for the tools.

Running fuel line from pump to carburetor:

FLcustom10 · 02-20-2012, 11:43 PM

Brakes took a while. Bleeding was a hassle.

FLcustom10 · 02-20-2012, 11:44 PM

I wound up going with a 3/4 ton setup:

FLcustom10 · 02-20-2012, 11:49 PM

Thanks JRANGER!

Radio Shack one-way diode at the alternator as recommended by Painless wiring:

Nice build. Subscribed so I can mimic your work!

nuke1 · 02-21-2012, 11:35 AM

Nice work so far, amazing how a little project turns into a full blown big one! but it is worth it!

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 07:17 PM

Thanks guys! I really had never even changed my own oil before I started this. I'm just taking it a step at a time and walk away and call my friends for help when I get over-whelmed.

Polished up the old fan Shroud and installed the radiator support:

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 07:20 PM

I went with a 4-core radiator so I had to notch the support for brackets to fit:

Thank you 67Cheby. I appreciate it.

Insulation and sound deadener from LMC, carpet from Stock Interiors:

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 10:43 PM

I used a pencil type sautering iron along with a razor knife to burn through the carpet as needed for bolts and dimmer switch.

**67cheby** · 02-22-2012, 10:45 PM

Good thinking on the soldering iron/hole punch !!

Painting the base of the seatbelts:

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 10:58 PM

Weatherstripping - I used clips, painters tape, and black 3M gasket adhesive:

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 11:00 PM

I'm starting to feel like it's coming together!

FLcustom10 · 02-22-2012, 11:06 PM

Label for the Jack:

That's speaker wire hanging by the gas tank just in case I figure out how to add speakers back there.

**oldman3** · 02-23-2012, 12:18 AM

Looking really good....Jim

ChevyNewb · 02-23-2012, 10:20 AM
