Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Well I have been a little intimidated by the wiring I have to do. I look at all the wires and thought, "Where are the meatballs and garlic bread." So today I read the instruction manual and decided to give it a try. I seperated the wires into their groups, labeled them and routed them to the areas they need to be. Know I just have pick up some electrical supplies at the GoodGuys show, wait for all my switches to arrive and I can get started. I also install my tail lights.
I really really want to hear the engine this summer....................

Painless 18 circuit universal w/ GM column. Kevin tucked that fuse block into the no longer needed or used kick panel vent holes.

Other then that I have been trying to figure out the wiring issue. The Painless universal 18 curcuit harness does not have any of the teminal connectors. I have been trying to figure out which wire goes on which terminal on the ignition swith, light switch and etc. I'm still trying to get the engine turned over by the end of summer. I will definatly post updates as I get thing completed. Thanks.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
It’s been almost two months since my last update. I have been working on the dreaded painless wiring harness under the dash. I have picked at it a little at a time and other then the wiring the lights for the heater control panel and cigarette lighter and radio, it’s done.
I also installed the steering column, radiator and condenser. I installed the vintage air unit, vents and tubes. I don’t have any power hooked up to the seats, so I could not move the seat back any further. I think I will work on the rear wiring and then the front. I have to buy my AC compressor and alternator before I get close enough to turn the engine over. A couple of pictures before I started and some after completion.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Nothing was done to the seats, just bracing on the underside of the cab floor. I would not recomend the seats for tall people.
I might install them, run some power and put them in the position I like.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Well I hope I dont have a problem. I just ordered some seats just like that from a 2005 Yukon Denali. Do they sit to close to the stearing wheel?

Without any power to adjust, I can say for sure, but in the position the seat are in now I would say yes. If you go to page three of my build another member used the same seats. You could check with him.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
I'm taking a break from the wiring, since Kevin finished welding up my coverted blazer gas filler tube and adding a bit to my blazer tank. I painted, installed and connected all the fuel and vent tubes. It turned out really nice. I got the idea for the filler tube from Livrat another member and modified it a little.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Okay, Well I'm trying to light the inspiration fire and motivated myself to get to work on Lemon Drop. So I finished installing by March Performance Serpentine Belt system. After three trips to Napa I found the proper belt size, which was a couple of inches less that what the instruction stated.
I also used a piece of 3/8 inch brake line to fad up a fuel line from the carb to the pump. I will be using a piece of stainless steel tube to replace it (more bling). I may have an issued with the routing of the lower radiator hose, but since I plan on using electric fans it may not be a problem. I think I will work on the AC/Heater hoses next.. I can’t decide if I want to use steel braided to black. I know the steel braided would look great, but $$$ has been a little hard to find. I have not inspired myself enough to finish the wiring thought.
