Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Steering shafts all done. Pretty tight in there. I was a little nervous about it.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Were you able to get away from using a support?

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
There is a support right above the center joint, bolted to the frame.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
You're welcome and I' sure you are plenty smart enough to do it. If you can post them, then I know I'm right when I say that. Here's a little help, if you are interested. A couple of guys helped me with this thread, in the area I help moderate. Check it out, it might help

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Starting to install the Holley Terminator X. I am not good at electrical. However this setup so far is pretty easy.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Looking great! Are you happy with the location of the ECU? I was thinking about building a bracket to put it under the dash but yours looks like a good fit.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Yes I like it there. I looked at under the dash too. But its a tight fit. At least I can get to this if I needed too. Hopefully that is never LOL

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Have you thought about spraying the hinges to match the fenders? I bet the shape of them wouldn't jump out at you if the finish matched. Even if you left the shock/spring and hardware raw.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Thank you. Now for the not so good news. Drive shaft came apart on the Dyno while being tuned. LOL stupid hot rods. I knew the tube was probably a little smaller that it should be, but I didn’t think it was an issue. I am not make a lot of power. 380-400 at the crank. Like 310 at the wheels

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Got the AC installed. I tried to keep it as clean as possible. I still need to hide some of the wires. I was able to keep the compressor down low.
