You guys aren't helping

DesertCat · 03-30-2013, 12:57 AM

These guys have been slacking off way too much so I put some octane booster in their coffee. The following is what they got done today

First set: Modified the tilt column and installed, gauge panel in, high hump bolted down, floor put back in along with seat

DesertCat · 03-30-2013, 01:04 AM

... and this

DesertCat · 03-30-2013, 01:12 AM

crack-a-lackin on the exhaust, we'll get some hangers to support it but after that it will have to do for now

Low Elco · 03-30-2013, 01:12 AM

Dang! Looks great!

That's what I am thinking! Good job! Now get back to work!

We actually are in hurry up mode as we are going to be moving soon and so it's getting put together quickly now. The exhaust is a good example of that, not how it's going to be but good enough to make her a driver.

DesertCat · 03-30-2013, 01:41 AM

One other thing we found when swapping in a wider 71-72 rear end is the brake hose is different. Autozone had one for $45

so I ordered one off Ebay for $21 coming from Nevada so should be here in a couple days.

Xeen · 03-30-2013, 11:37 AM

What are you doing about Heat and Air, are you gonna put some vintage air in the old girl?

jlsanborn · 03-30-2013, 11:44 AM

That's a ton of work! It's beginning to look whole again and the interior looks sharp! Strange deal on the brake hose back there.... I can't remember where I made the break, but it was a straight across affair.

orngsikL · 03-30-2013, 01:28 PM

got a link to the ebay seller for the seat cover?

Yeah, I have most of what I need with a used Vintage Air unit, think I put something in here about it when I started this thread but may have overlooked that. Now I just need time!

Boys are killin it! Never heard about the brake deal either but when you look up a 71-72 hose it looks just like the one that was cut off.

I do. Seller has no current listings but here is one that they sold just a bit ago, you can probably contact them. What I can tell you is the cover is very good quality. I'm very happy.

DesertCat · 03-31-2013, 02:25 AM

Today was taking care of details day... hangers for the exhaust (with zip ties will do until we have more time

), got the vacuum port and line for the booster and hooked 'em up. Did a proper wiring of the HEI and the new alternator and fixed some other wiring.

Drained the gas from the tank and got some fresh put in and went to fire it up, but nothing. Battery had been sitting on the charger for quite a while but only put out 10.4v so I realized that our inbred PO probably bartered for it from some crack head. Off to Autozone, back with a new Optima

While son was hooking up new battery it dawned on me why no crank. We jumpered the neutral safety and it fired right up

Sure sounded good! Even my wife liked it! No brakes yet or he would have taken a ride... soon, very soon!

Xeen · 03-31-2013, 04:22 AM

Looks like its almost time to give that Edelbrock air cleaner a good shine and go for a joy ride.

DesertCat · 03-31-2013, 10:58 AM

HE is Risen!

Today we celebrate Jesus Christ's resurection and bow our knee to our Redeemer.

May God bless everyone who call Him Lord!

Happy Easter.

DesertCat · 04-02-2013, 02:10 AM

Back to work!

Actually, my oldest was hitting it hard again today. Long frustrating day at times but some good progress in the end. I'll post more in the AM but here's a quick couple of pics.

Needed a throttle linkage, couldn't find my old one. So it may be a bit overkill but a cutdown Lokar auto trans linkage looks pretty good! Disregard the clip on the rear stud... a temporary measure.
