Project "The Engine is WHERE??"

Dam I love these cars and almost bought one this year... Very nice I'll be following this thread for sure...

Thanks guys. Well not much to show in the way of pictures, but here's what's completed so far with wiring:

Tail Lights
Starting and Charging System (starter / solenoid, alternator, regulator, start/run switches)

It's taking a very long time, partly because I only have a few hours a week to work on it, and I'm also soldering and heat-wrapping each and every connection I make so I won't have any issues down the line. It's a tedious process.

But, the car cranks over now, which was a pivotal moment in this build - she's coming alive! I'll try to get some video today. Also today, if I have time, I'll finish up the distributor and coil wiring, and with any luck I'll get the thing running!

Other plans for today are to install the dashboard and begin wiring for the gauges (speedo, tach, water temp, oil pres, and voltmeter). I'll also be wiring in a wideband but I didn't get one yet.

Update coming later today hopefully.

Thanks guys - I'm ashamed to say that I haven't gotten any further with the build. My business has me working all hours of the night lately, I'm hoping that I'll be able to spend more time on the car in the next couple of months. I'll definitely post updates when I do!
