Hanger bracket.

 

Have you considered using a zips riser to get the fan centered in the radiator,the fan is so low it's probably not going to do it's job. HRP

 

So-Cal speed shop alternator bracket.

 

I might have to if this does not work.

 

Drivers side exhaust completed , at least back to diff for now.

 

Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers with a Jegs 2 1/2" street rod exhaust kit. Wish the exhaust kit had a few more 45' bends in it, but all in all very happy with the kit. I'll add the tailpipes later.

 

Here's the video.

Start up went fairly well. The brand new Mallory coil had a short so I ran down to the local parts store and bought an Accel coil and now had some spark. Next was no fuel. I failed to tighten the fuel line connections real tight when I installed them, and the pump was sucking air instead of fuel. After that it fired right up. Oil pressure at 55psi, water temp 190 F. Hope to take it for a ride after Thanksgiving , if the roads are dry.

 

Really sucks when on "the big day" you find freaken brand new parts are BAD.

 

Yes it does. But a fairly cheap fix.

Front shock mounts tig welded by Nick at Racemasters in Ballston Spa, NY.

 

Done

 

Nice job, the only thing I could be critical of is the welds on the exhaust. It always looks nicer if they are ground smooth.

 

A few shots on the trailer.

 

Ill need to work on those after I tear it down for paint. Right now I'm kind of pushing to get it ready for the DMV inspection so I can get a VIN and register it...

 

Raised the back up a little.

 

Merry Christmas all. Have a happy and healthy New Year.

Apart to paint the frame.

 

The tie down strap really helped keep it even as it came up.

 

Time to clean up the frame and paint it.

 

Put almost 1000 miles on it before dis-assembly. Here's a few shots.
