Been busy lately doing things that don't add up to much for an update. That and a weeks worth of travel for work make it difficult to get things done. So here is the latest with many mini updates in one.
I finally got the rear brakes installed and the cables run for the e brake.
Here is the E brake and the battery.
Tank installed and all fuel lines hooked up. Just need to install the tank level float.
After getting the new front seat foams out of the box, my upholsterer and I were talking about how cool it would be to get another set and make it look like it has four bucket seats. So, of course I ordered another set right away. Here is a quick mock up of them in place.
And here is the teaser of the front seat bottom. Black vinyl and b/w Houndstooth.
Today I got the drivers door sanded and buffed, then hung in place. I love this reflection and definition of image.
Also installed the Ring Brothers door handles and the door lock.
After that, I had to finally make a upper radiator hose. when I installed the March Performance serp kit it made the stock V8 hose not work. I have tried in vain to find something that would work, but no luck. So, with the aid of some pieces I was able to tack all these individual steel tubing together. I will bring it to a friend and have it all tig welded, then smooth it out. Not sure if I will paint it or have it coated when done.
It came out nice, and I am happy with it. But I really just wanted a simple black rubber hose. It seems like nothing on this car has gone that way, not sure why I expected this hose to be any different.
