Hey all,
It's been a while since my last post of receiving my new wheels and tires; it seems like forever since there's been any progress with my car but I've been feverishly gathering parts, researching, working/saving money/spending money lol
Attached are some pics of recent progress:
Dutchman Street and Strip axle housing and third member mocked up with air ride triangulated 4 link
Rushforth 18" Wildsides mounted
Baer 14" Pro Plus Brakes fit
Complete Air Ride suspension kit mocked up, plumbed and wired for up and down use temporarily
Pics to follow - cut the front rad support and the front left and right inner fenders to build a custom new one (special thanks to the ring brothers and staci for their help and advice along the way - I'm sure there will be many more!)
Also got a Be Cool Rad Module 19x26 with dual 11" fans and the a/c condensor to go with it.
Ordered and received Wilwood Pedal Assembly
Ordered and received my Complete ISIS 3 cell wiring kit
Ordered and received Flaming River Column
Ordered and received a PIAA HID Headlight kit - thinking of going with HID Driving Lights too?
Next on the to do list
1) Save money!! lol
2) Finish up eng compartment fabrication
3) Fit front fenders
4) Finish Rear wheel tubs
5) Order Hood (probably a 67 shelby hood)
6) Order Ring Brothers Hood Hinges
7) Order Vintage air Kit and mock up
8) Mock up steering column and pedal assembly
9) Begin Fabrication on dash
10) Figure out fuel injection setup
I'm hoping to get most of the above done by the end of the summer, give me a chance to save over the winter and get going full steam ahead next spring
Coupling things I'm still thinking about
* Thinking of going with a complete line of electric life accesories - door poppers, power windows and switches - any suggestions/comments?
* Looking at going with a custom sheet metal fuel injection intake - Hogans Racing or Precision Metal Craft - I like the look of either a single tuned port and dual tuned port injection - I'm totally new to the whole fuel injection thing so it's definitely going to be a learning process! I want to do a fuel tank with a submersed "in tank" pump, and have a management system thats programmable by laptop - need two tunes, one for air care emissions and the other for street driving.
* Thinking about going with One Piece Products one piece side glass - elminates the vent window - has anyone used their stuff before?
* Still need to figure out the look of the front fascia and rear tail panel - I'm thinking I might get a custom finned tail light panel made up without the gas cap in the middle - thoughts?
Anyways, hope you like the couple pics and bit of a recap i'll post some of the eng compartment this weekend
