It's the little things yah know?



So another week has past, I got some small things done but at this stage it's pretty much all small things until I attack the wiring.


I'm pointing to a section of the frame that hits the CV joint boot clip I'm grinding down.
Axle reinstalled and now it clears.
Another small clearance issue to deal with, the O2 sensor is clocked too high on the header so it hits the oil pan flange.  I ground away some of the flange (welded washers together) and made a spacer to move the exhaust down a bit.
Here is a shot of several different tubes all secured yet insulated from each other with zip ties.  O2 sensor on the left.
In this shot you can see how this engine "fits" in the car.  Technically it doesn't so you have to cut some areas like this notch for a sensor.
Here is Fynn, he is 2 years old and is the sole operator of his own shop.
Very quick turn around!
Even Mia is into cars, she loved this Band-Aid I drew for her.

Hydraulic lines are done!



 I finished the hydraulic lines and now I can move on to wrapping up loose ends like hoses and mounting the intake before I start the electrical work.  I also picked up a old school tach from the 80's with a discreet shift light from Mallory.


All hydraulic lines are done!

The brake proportioning valve is mounted and plumbed.

Another shot of brake and clutch lines.
I found this tach on Ebay and snagged it cheap. 
Fixing the plate compactor, rental crap...
The boss.
A happy wife is a happy life!

Dog Days of Summer


Even though I had all weekend to work on the car, I didn't get much done.  I guess that happens some times, right?  Tell me yes...

Driver's side front brake line complete.
Brake line installed.

Rear brake line started, here it's running from the "T" to the brake proportioning valve.  I am going to redo this line and route it behind the hydro line.
