Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
so I got this all mocked up cut outs and all... hoping my double braided stainless flex pipes holds up. I can't find a mandrel bender local and my welder although very good was shying from fabing the transition from the headers ...so I did the heavy lifting for him and now he has a whole lot of butt welding to do where I put the temp lap joint clamps ...will see

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Been a while since I checked in. Everything's looking great! Gotta love sharing the truck with your grandson!
I was looking at your trailing arm crossmember in detail because that is one thing on my truck that I feel still needs work, especially with the two piece driveshaft. On your truck, with the engine set back and the 700r4 you would have a comically short first driveshaft if you did a two piece!

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
so I spent some time last night tightening the header bolts I clocked the MINI starter I clocked it way from the header and closer to the block and reinstalled it. I put a temp positive battery and ground cable hooked up a starter button to the starter purchased a new battery today and was able to crank the motor ......progess I have to make sure when I fire it off the trans (700r4)cooling lines are tied together and detent cable is in. Ill only fire it off for a moment until I hook the radiator up or I might get some patience and wait until I can run it with temporary oil pressure and temp gauges hooked up.. that's a better plan I need to convince myself of that ... we will see

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
this week and weekend I was able to get the detent cable installed, core support mocked up install the radiator bend my SS trans cooling lines enough to get them installed proper. Last was the rad hoses seeing I set the motor rearward a bit I had to be creative with the stock top rad hose next couple days ill get some gauges hooked up temporary to monitor temperature and oil pressure I also hooked the fuel line to carb and fed the fuel pump from a gas can eureka
