Hmm--electric fan. Might be worth looking into. When the car is gone for paint I will do some research on a fan shroud.

Thank you and glad you are enjoying the pics.

Thanks. I am trying to make sure I meet the deadline so we can get it painted. And yes the green is pretty cool.

Thanks. I had thought about it but time just isn't going to allow for it right now. Maybe later down the road my dad will want me to do it and if thats the case I will. But for now the main goal is to get it going as fast as we can so my dad can enjoy it.

Thank you. Ask my wife--I am kind of a workaholic and have been known for doing things till I literally drop,lol..

My dad got some stock stang hubcaps that he bought and has been waiting to put them on.. I dunno though I think once the car is painted and put together--he might want something nicer for wheels but we will see...

Great job on the wiring, I'm sure those new wires won't let the smoke out! How long do you expect it to be in the body shop? Not long, I hope....glad your Dad is so excited, I'm excited for him.

So cranking away and again making good progress and hit the mark I was shooting for.



Washer pump wiring done.







My dad got a new washer bag. Its damn soft compared to the hard as a rock oringional,lol.







Wiring to the voltage regulator done.

Headlamp/turn/marker lamp wiring done.











Horns done.

Passenger side corner







Main relay done. I fused(fusable link) every power circuit. One thing that I have noticed one thing that was lacking.











And down to the alternator.







So the only thing left in the wiring is at the ignition coil, both battery cables, main ground and starter cable.



My dad had been watching the webcam everynight and I got a text close to 11:30 and he was in ahh over what was happening--talk about a good feeling.. Ok time for sleep..

Your not going to repair the inner fender under the battery?

I bet that late evening text message did make you feel good.

So tonight was a little slower of progress but progress none the less..



I got the new valve cover put on. I still prefer the stock one all painted up--but my dad just loved it.........

crashfab

No not at this time. In order to do that the core support will need replaced. But the corner is still actually pretty sturdy and once the new tray is in it will help strengthen it up. But I told my dad next year I wanna take care of that and he said---ok,lol...

So time to lay on my back. I got the new hat put in and its in there solid now.







I got all the un-needed holes in the firewall sealed up







Here is the new firewall mat with needed areas (at least I thought so at this point) cut out.







I chose to slit it in a few spots rather than pull stuff out(steering colum/brace). So once in place I just used some spray adhesive and put it back together. The only hole I had to add was the upper heater hose hole.But thats in and done.
