Did a little laundry this weekend
Hey, I coated the aluminum for the car this weekend. What a messy operation. I used a water based truck bed liner, It seems to have worked quite well, we'll see how it holds up. It dried hard not rubbery like some of the others I've used before.
I've a huge mess to clean up so, gotta go.

I couldn't help myself
Well picked up after the coating thing. I couldn't wait to get started riveting the panels in place just thought I would share this with you because these are the first permanent things I have assembled to the car.
I will post more pics when they're all on.

Why wait come up now tomorrow it's going to be a balmy -1 degrees with windchills, well you don't want to know. You'll come away with the knowledge of what freaking cold is. Besides that way someone else can squeeze the rivet tool.

Wow, It's been a while since I posted any updates, well here's what I've been up to. I now have the basic fuel system plumbed from the tank to the firewall, the rest will have to be done after I get the engine in the car. Now as per usual nothing about this was quick or easy. Just thinking about how I was going to do this was a headache, but with the help of lots of forum members and a good bit of money and some additional cussing and swearing I was able to get some things done.
Pump mount, inlet filter, and pump this was a head scratcher the big problem was space and the ability to plumb lines.
Outlet filter, now this required some crazy plumbing yes it looks close to the axle, but I've had some smart people check it out a they said it looks great.
Feed and return lines, this was relatively easy I say that with a smirk.
I had to add two new fittings to the fuel tank. Welding to my tank made me so nervous, just didn't want to burn a hole in it.
And finally the engine compartment complete with regulator.
Now with any luck I can get some brake cables and get the Parking brake working. and get wheels on this beast.
Patrick
P.S. The major delay for the progress was the fact that I hosted the local gear head group for coffee and conversation last Sat., had a huge turnout. I spent three weeks cleaning the shop to get ready. |

Patrick, I am amazed, being in the car business I have seen teams of craftsman and engineers , each with their own specialty struggle to get the results you have displayed to us all here. Bravo. Its an inspiration to us all. Hell, I was pleased to be able to make a dirt simple ball joint press tool after dinner tonight, and after reading and seeing your thread, WOW !
As we would say back in the hood on the ball court before a fancy move, "RING the Bell", school's in session.........in this case "COBRA" school is now in session for us all.
