I don`t know, I`d be more scared if the wires were all the same color.

looking sweet brother, keep up the good work

BlackTopMotors · 07-09-2011, 06:07 PM

Looks good - hard to reach? How about a custom flip open panel on the inside driver fender (you have excellent skills so just throwing that out there).

Great idea...however, it needs to be higher than the top of the master cylinder in order for that pesky gravity thing to work.

bruin_d · 07-09-2011, 07:16 PM

And we're SMOOTH!!! I have a tiny bit more sanding to do and it won't be 100% done until I get my new swivel ball column mount but it looks good now.

Street Smart · 07-09-2011, 07:56 PM

nice!!!!!!!!!!

**lolife99** · 07-09-2011, 08:42 PM

VERY NICE!
Where will the brake lines exit the inside of the cab/body?
I assume you have bulkhead fitting for this?

Love your burb!

Thanks! I have a bulkhead but I'm still trying to figure out if/where I'm going to put it.

**67cheby** · 07-09-2011, 10:44 PM

I'll modify as needed. I've got bigger problems than that right now...

bruin_d · 07-10-2011, 07:43 PM

Finished up the firewall (until my column gets here). I was going to get the drive train in but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I don't think the motor mounts I was given will work. If its not one thing its 20 f-in others.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-10-2011, 08:24 PM

I'm pretty sure that remote reservoir is gonna crash with the hood but I could be wrong? You may be able to notch the hood for it to clear as far as the motor goes it don't look like its anywhere even close to fitting.. Is the oil pan sitting on the rack? I'm assuming you do not have the trans cross member in and its no where near close enough to bolt up,but I could be wrong.

I'll figure out the hood clearance when i get the hood back on. I am 100% on my own so putting the hood on and taking it off takes some planning ahead.
As far as the pan goes, I can slide a piece of paper between it and the rack right now. I don't have the tranny cross member in yet. Was going to going to try to do that today but ran into a big problem. After emailing Nate back and forth for the last hour or so, he thinks I have a SBC drop member. He has a jig made up (its happened before) to Fab up some different motor mounts .

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-10-2011, 08:52 PM

Damn hope nate fixes you up right..

jmedero · 07-10-2011, 09:00 PM

Sucks man. Always something ain't it. Mistakes happen but still sucks, you should be driving this baby by now. Hey it's only time and money right. Lol

I have NO DOUBT that Nate will whip up some new mounts in no time! He always takes care of me.

Wildstreak · 07-10-2011, 09:19 PM
