Got a lot done since the last update.
-Installed roof
-Front suspension in except for the shocks. Need to get the proper mounting hardware.
-Installed the front brakes.
-Installed Horn.
-Install coolant tubes in center console. Used 1" aluminum tubing from McMaster Carr and put beads on the ends to hold the hoses. Then anchored the tubes to the tunnel with 1" vinyl coated clamps.
-Installed the motor and subframe. Made this a family affair with the wife and kids and it went really well. Also got the subframe bolted down. Had to use some ratchet straps to move everything around a millimeter here and there to get it all to line up.
-Got the intake all setup.
-Hooked up the radiator.
-Fuel tank is in.
-Fuel line ran.
-Also have the passenger side rear suspension installed. Need to get some hardware to hook up the drivers side. Snapped a bolt that holds the hub on so I have to track down one of those.
-Steering system is also completed.
-battery installed
-rear view mirrors installed. Center mirror loosely installed. Will position once seats are installed.
-master cylinder and brake reservoir installed
-boost gauge installed
During the week, I hope to get the rear radiator lines connected, mount the heat exchanger, and work on electrical. I'm trying not to cram too much stuff in the front since I want to have space to install the brake proportioning valve.
