Wiring

No real worthwhile pics for this one. I've got most of the wiring sorted out again. I still have to hook up the gauges, horn, and tidy up the electric fan wiring.

I'm also going to pick up some sheet aluminum so I can make my temporary gauge panel. I'm just intersted in getting the car ready for inspection right now, so until i can figure out another solution for the dash, this will do just fine. This car will more than likely be an ongoing project for years to come, so why not leave a little something for much needed "garage therapy" later down the road.

More E-Brake

Got the ebrake installed and functioning. I'm one step closer to inspection and titling.

I gotta say, Lokar makes fine products. Everything worked as designed. No problems, no suprises.

E-Brake

Picked up a Lokar e-brake handle and cable. Looks like a pretty straight forward install. Gonna hit it hard tomorrow after work.

Here's what I picked up:

Small Update

I've been going over the electrical a bit more (read: ripped it all out and started over LOL!)

I didn't like the way I had it all run. It would have made the carpet uneven in a few spots, and I just wanted it to be neat and tidy. So, I've started over. I used an old drill bit box as a fuse box and will be mounting it more securely in the rear "cargo" area. I've also remounted my master kill switch to a more remote area that will be somewhat difficult for the nafarious to find.

Today is the first day that I might actually be able to go out there. I've been traveling all over the place over the last 3 weeks.

There, Happy, Ken? I've actually updated my blog.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!

We have ignition!!! Ran like a champ! Plenty of oil pressure, temp was good, sounded AWESOME!!!!

I have a few small issues to go over, but I'm very pleased!

Down to the wire....

Wiring is currently being done. Hopefully after today, I'll be in a position to fire the motor.

I need to install the gauges, wire them, and finish the starting/ignition system. I have a few things to re-check on the engine before hitting the go button, but I'm CLOSE. REALLY CLOSE!

I can almost smell the octane!

Body and Frame UNITE!!

The body is back in my shop, and on the frame. Now the fun stuff can begin!
