Re: 65 Short Step driver build
hanks to a tip from Alan I ordered my front fenders from a local hot rod shop last week. I should pick them up tomorrow or wednesday. I have been held with having the wrong headers. I didn't like the painted headers with the paint pealing and flaking off so I bought polished stainless ones. They looked great on the stand but they would not clear the engine mounts perches. It took a while to get them exchanged but I finally got them. Instead of the polished stainless I now have ceramic coated. I will post some more pictures tomorrow.

Re: 65 Short Step driver build
Well it's definately not tomorrow but I finally got the engine bay and front end back together. Got most of my wiring comepleted at least to crank it over but I have found a fuel line leak at the pressure regulator. I'll have time to take it apart tomorrow night, I'm sure it's just an o-ring or something very simple. Here are a couple pictures for now. It took a little work to make some new power steering lines and figure out what to do with radiator hoses. The radiator is 1 3/4" and the engine side they are both 1 1/4". I opted to use the polished stainless pipe with adaptors on the ends that allow you to use most any size.

Re: 65 Short Step driver build
The sending unit came with my new dash/gauge unit. They are sold on eBay, if you contact the seller you can buy just the sending unit.

By the way, I like the build and your idea to keep it a driver while working on it. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 65 Short Step driver build
Got my new fenders fitted tonight, what a pain in the A$$. I understand now why everybody hates re-pop parts. Install, check, remove, grind, recheck and repeat. Got my fender extensions sanded down to metal so I can spray them with epoxy primer tomorrow.
I haven't been able to drive it since installing the new LT1. The o ring that connects the fuel pressure regulator to the return line leaks. The o ring kit from GM has been discontinued and they are unavailable from the aftermarket world. After much searching I found the GM kit and it is on the way, can't wait .
