Bit more progress, getting it together

 

[79Hurst]

Put a few more hours in this weekend, crossmember in, headers finally fitted, cooling lines in, inner fenders in. Next is harness and fuse box/computer fitting setup.

Looks like you'll have this wrapped up with plenty of summer to spare.

 

[79Hurst]

Thanks DRIVEN, possibly but after a 102* temp today I sure don't like working in heat so this project may just sit during those days

 

[79Hurst]

Little progress, but progress.

Your car is looking good. Cant wait to see it completed.....I bought that same color gold. I plan on painting the gold on my car in the next couple weeks.

 

[79Hurst]

Yes,it is a nice color looks good in the sun too. Thanks for the props we are making effort on getting this done every chance we get

Not posted in a while, job change took lots of my spare time from working on the car. But this weekend we were able to get some more work done, good progress. We have power to the car now, lights and engine turns over now by the starter. So far, we have the fuel system mostly done, Walbro in tank pump hanging on a new GN sender, Vette regulator, hoses, power steering hooked up, new radiator etc. Still left to do is finish up the trans cooler lines, oil cooler lines, driveshaft cut and balanced, harness connected to all sensors and wired to car, fuel system details/hoses etc, and a few things I am forgetting at the moment haha. Here are a few current pics

Also, looking at the best way to adapt the factory shifter cable to the L80. i have a Shifworks arm correction bracket installed but the holdup is the trans bracket that holds the cable in place. If any of you know of a solution please let me know.

Oh, and we need a rear factory sway bar this one is broken? Weird, but it is so if anyone close to me (central CA) let me know I will get in touch with you
