wheee! Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share #2605 Posted June 27, 2019 Umm. I believe it’s been over 4 years for me so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share #2606 Posted June 27, 2019 The great news is that the driveline is done. Engine and transmission bolted in, rear end bolted in and driveshaft installed. So much relief and satisfaction today. Now on to all the fun and not so fun stuff. I will button up some of the plumbing for the AC and the heater lines, route some lines for the speedo cable etc. I will leave the wiring of the motor for a while. Once I’m done playing with the engine bay I will get going hardcore on the final body work and metal repairs. Time to get serious! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share #2610 Posted July 4, 2019 Started work on the throttle cable linkage now that the engine is in. Hope to have a solution and pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share #2611 Posted July 10, 2019 This ought to be a fun panel gap to fix too. Roughly bolted in place but obviously wayyyy out of spec. Looks like a job for the MIG welder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #2612 Posted July 10, 2019 Fender or bucket that is out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share #2613 Posted July 10, 2019 Fender. The factory restamp on the other side is near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #2614 Posted July 10, 2019 Now is a good time to check headlight assembly fit too. My buddy's aftermarket fender had a very tight fit and the chrome ring touched bucket because of fender mounting position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 10, 2019 Share #2615 Posted July 10, 2019 Now is a good time to just weld the sugar scoops on and be done with that gap altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
