My First Ever Project Build.

[craigF]

Thank you 🙏

Haven’t posted for a little while so here’s a quick picture.
Car is at about 90% of build to check for fitment and to foresee any issues that may arise. It will then be stripped back to a shell to go to paint and final body finish. Have fitted a Holley Sniper which was so easy to do but the proof will be in the real drive and learning process.

Looking great! Can't wait to read about your first full-build drive.

[craigF]

Thanks. Neither can i

I see you have a Sniper system. You might find this useful:

I wrote that up a little while back. It really makes for a reliable and tidy Sniper installation.

Great write up on the wiring of the Sniper. I have pretty much wire the unit as described and it seems to run really well but has had little real drive time.
i am about to get the car engineer check to enable me to register the car with all the mods. ( Australian laws) Once that is done the car will be stripped to a shell and final body and paint will be completed prior to final build.
I will pull a few ides from your article that will ensure a trouble free unit. It seems most of the problems with these units is poor install or wiring issues with a few unit problems.
Thanks for pointing me to your write up it will be helpful

Hi all. Haven’t posted for a while but here is a quick update on my hood
Had an MTF scoop hood but wasn’t happy with it being a glass hood so I thought I’d have a go at fabricating a steel one. A friend fabbed the scoop then tigged it to a steel hood. Still in progress but I think it’s coming along nicely

That is a really nice job on the scoop. The build is coming along nicely!

Over the axle and around the four link. More like atrwork😎

Wow, you have done an outstanding job on this car. I noticed this little split pipe on your exhaust as it goes over the axle. Can you elaborate what this is for? I've never seen that done.

[craigF]

The split pipe is the exhaust. It goes from a 3” to a twin 2”. This gives more clearance for the axle tube. It then goes back to a 3”
Thanks for the comments

Thanks. It seems like it's taken forever but with time constraints and money i'm really pleased so far

Starting to tidy up wiring to be presentable
