Finally a little more progress was made (have been too busy renovating the house again)....

1/0 stinger hpm gauge cable was connected to the +ve terminal and inline fuse holder.

The vinyl/paint combo turned out pretty nicely (in my opinion)

WOW!!! uh....WOW!!! You are Awsome man!! Ive never seen somebody take so much care when laying things out. Your Craftsmanship is Top notch!!



This car is going to be driven regularly? yes?

Indeed it will be - not a daily driver but it will get a good flogging every weekend!

Great to hear man!!! Cars are made to be Driven!!

Too Beautifull of a car to just let sit on a trailer all its life anyways!

I have finally finished the fuse panel wiring along with the battery - the last two wires (one to oil pressure sender and other to alternator) were also ran. Just a few to tidy up under the bonnet before the amps go in and wiring starts for them.

Also the 8.5mm silicon spark leads were connected (getting the lead from coil to firewall shortened currently). Now the carbs can go back on.

Not that you don't already have your hands full, but have you considered the serpentine belt system for the alternator? I'm just not a fan (no pun) of the stock pulley system as you can get a lot of odd vibation from the belt and with a big fan they can slip.

The Serp system would also look really nice with how fit, trim, and clean everything else is!

I did think about it but I wasn't aware there was a type IV crank pulley available in the serpentine system. Also the upright conversion I bought already came with this crank pulley, and with funds drying up fast I couldn't justify changing yet another change (have had too many changes already!!). :bawling:

Yeah man
on Shoptalk forums BMD has a sale post.. save some cash maybe you can get a 1off pully too to make your motor just a lil difrent like to whole car is..lol

I like mine.. lost 1 belt turns out It was not alined right but its all fine now..
Looks sick as hell man
Peace Troy

I think I'll leave it for now (cash is required elsewhere!)...brakes are now hooked up and bled, doors readjusted and a few more wiring bits tidied up.

hey das have you had the stereo running yet

No haven't had the stereo running just yet (Can't wait to do so soon though!). I have to figure out how I am going to mount the distribution block and crossovers before I start cutting the wires (don't want to do a temporary install then have to rewire everything because I've changed location of the bits). I will hopefully get started on this side of things shortly.

Hey Alan,
Where you thinkin of mounting the Xover's & Distro block?
I was lookin at the pix seen you used the 10awg to the starter..
If you get any dimming in the lights you may try running 4awg to the Alt,Starter..
Just a thought
Looks great hope to see a pik of some rosted rear tires soon..
