Wow, it’s been too long since I’ve posted, I know why I’m not a blogger.
I’ve made a bit of progress. @CraigS for sure would have been easier to just get the aftermarket wiring harnesses. Lot’s of excess wiring…Next time.
-Brake lines are complete, just need to fabricate a mount for the PV to frame
-trunk aluminum is in place
-radiator is in temp location, zip tied up, the factory tubes with extension don’t exactly line up the best, will wait to adjust after the body is in place
-I’m waiting on aftermarket WP pulley for the serpentine belt and will just run that with the alternator, crank and shorter belt
-new valve covers are on after the bolt head issue, however the cable mount on the intake rests on top of the passenger side cover :-(
-Battery cables are all in place
PO removed the ebrake bracket, I’m going to fab an alternate approach there
Also missing the ignition piece of the steering column, will be going push button
? - I have a AOD, haven’t seen much for how others ran the existing pipes back from the radiator for cooling, I’m going to try and bend the factory ones and see how far off they are
? - I’m unable to find the details on where to splice in the license plate light in the trunk, anyone have a good pic of where that would go in the factory harness? I’m planning to use the splice connectors for that and have run the wires through the trunk aluminum for now.
