While I cleaning up the lines I noticed the passenger side line was really close to the trans coolant lines. So added a couple washers under the bracket to raise the line up.

So I think I am going to leave it ( 11-28-21 )
I have been going back and fourth on this for weeks if not months. Do I have Mario paint the Radiator, Fan Shroud and A/C Condenser or leave it natural for this version of the car.

Today I am going back and touch up all of the holes I drilled in things. No reason to let things start rusting.

I am also removing the blue tape on the frame for the last time.

So I learned this trick when I was still in High School. My buddy's father put grease on the core support body mount to stop the creaking that old cars made and still make.

It's hard to tell what I am doing here but this was the only way I could get the washer on the Core Support upright brackets.

It's hard to believe I used all of these tools to install three bolts.

Good news I was able to get the MSD LS Truck Wires
Attachment 195891
Yesterday 11-28-21 didn't end well as my dog ran into the slider, has a concussion and I had to stay up all night with him. The
good thing is our Ring Camera caught it and we submitted it to America's Funniest Video and they accepted it.
**** Post AFV airing I will add the video ****
So back to the drivers side and I will just do pictures as you all know what it looks like.

Battery Terminal Options ( 12-01-21 )
I currently have the DSE terminal and I love how they look however is there something better is what my brain
keeps saying. So I jumped on some car audio websites and found some cool options.
I really like these as they allow you to connect ring terminals.

My Christmas Present to myself from my wife ( 12-01-21 )
So way back in February of 2021 I saw this 3D printed honeycomb grille on Taylor's 2nd Gen. I messaged him on Facebook and asked
him where and how do I get one. He told me he 3D printed it and he would be selling them. I was lucky enough to get in line to get one
and the quality is excellent and I can not wait to install it on the car.

Here is the grille that was shipped to me the first week of December. To say I am excited is an understatement.

MSD Truck Wires & DEI Spark Plug Boots ( 12-05-21 )
It was late and I was tired and just got home from work with my MSD Plug Wires so I decided to put them on before I went in the house.

As you can see the wires are no longer stretched.

After looking at the wiring on the tank I decided it needed one more "Weld Stud"
Attachment 195923

Apparently all the planning I did when I installed the tank makes it very easy to service and remove.

Holley EFI Tank off to paint at Remes Autobody ( 12-08-21 )
I figured while the tank was out I might as well clean up the epoxy around the wed stud mounts.

It feels so nice talking off all of the tape.

Yes, I am going print this picture so I don't have to try to remember the sock direction in the tank.

Only time will tell.

I finally made the time to finish off all of the wire terminations.
Attachment 195964
I'm making sure all of the wires are long enough and I will need to replace these ring terminals as they are not the correct size.
Attachment 195965
I did find some covers for the DSE terminals.
Attachment 195966
Since the Shifter will be going in soon I figured it was time to look for the harness and I had tucked it up neatly under the dash.

I am blaming Ron for this ( 12-14-21 )
So, I have wanted these upper control arms since I started building the car. After talking with Keith at Custom Works Performance
for years I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set. I also ordered a set of Tall Ball Joints and once I received them I ordered some
ARP Hardware.

They sure are pretty and no more pivot shaft shims.
