Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Starting to install the Holley Terminator X. I am not good at electrical. However this setup so far is pretty easy.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
I had a local Radiator shop build the whole setup for me. They used Spal fans. I searched all over for a kit. I like the black stock look. Fortunate to have a great radiator shop in town that can get one foe me. I guess I dont know if they built it or ordered it. Its a 4 row with trans cooler built in.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Wiring is pretty much done. Only have to finish the fans. And start putting this thing back together.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Looking great! Are you happy with the location of the ECU? I was thinking about building a bracket to put it under the dash but yours looks like a good fit.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Yes I like it there. I looked at under the dash too. But its a tight fit. At least I can get to this if I needed too. Hopefully that is never LOL

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Hi all, I got the inner fenders back it. Mild Slosh Tubz. Painted the same satin black as the core support. I’m telling you, it made the engine compartment look really good I think.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
How was the tubz install? Do you have to do any modifications? Was it rubbing before? Thanks and quality work as usual!

The install was not to bad. Like anything when your getting ready to cut a perfectly good part, its a little nerve racking. But it wasn't to bad. I like the fact that they look fairly factory. I did have to trim around my QA1 suspension too. You can see it if you look close.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Got the hood on and installed the CVF racing hinges. I am not sure if they match the theme of the truck or not. I still have the old hinges too. But these thing do look sweet. And seem to operate well. I have not got them fully adjusted. They are not as easy as I hoped lol.
I am going for a stock-ish look until you open the hood. I have some Coy rally 20’s on order as well. You can also see how I routed the heater hoses for the most part.

Re: Grandpa's OG 1978
Have you thought about spraying the hinges to match the fenders? I bet the shape of them wouldn't jump out at you if the finish matched. Even if you left the shock/spring and hardware raw.
