New wiring harness to install Done
Inner fender wells (Right one installed)
Front bumper No
Battery cables No
Clutch adjusted (Linkage is biding up and not working smoothly)
Reverse lockout linkage to hook up Done
Driveline installed Done
Install the original caliphers-Bleed all brakes Done
Gas tank to install Done
Fire up the motor (not yet)

Been working through some issues today for installing the inner fender wells. Looks like my grille support bracket is bent and will not allow my lower valance to mount up correctly so I can put the front bumper on. What a pain to put the dust shields on the inner fender wells, If anyone has a trick let me know.







Low rider look, bleeding brakes


Wish I had use of my friends shop a few more days

Honestly, about the same as before

But I have been more focused on the transmission that seems to have burnt out 2nd gear....

1st gear was still getting it done today though


Guess it is time for a 4L80E now...

Looks great Ray, I guess you are going kind of "resto mod" with chrome stuff under the hood?

The weather sucks here, we are in the middle of a tropical storm. No sign of it letting up until Wednesday at the earliest.

It doesn't look very resto moded to me but it looks great to me! I just don't really care for the chrome radiator cover.

The Radiator Top Panel and the Fender Tie Brace should be black, the previous owner chromed them. I have some original ones I need to paint them black yet, but for now the chrome ones will stay on so I can drive it this summer. The valve covers are correct for the car.

I knew the valve covers were correct. The other parts were what I was referring to. They threw me off, everything else was restored back to original.
