Just when things are going well, these builds begin to nickel and dime us. At least you caught it before it made a mess of the build!

Have I ever mentioned I hate wiring... yeah. Hate.
drill new hole in the bulkhead to run wires back
start fitting lights (and mount license plate)
I need to take them back off because I'm going to replace all the bulb holders (it's how the LED lights connect). I also need to change the wiring so all the lights work - the centered ones are for reverse lights... but no more,
then spent quality time laying out the wiring - roll bar is back out so I can finish the area and it's a lot easier to wire when it's out

mask the backside of the wheel so it stays matte black behind the spokes, go with your matte bronze, maybe clean all the paint off of the spoke face?Last edited by silver_bullet; July 2, 2020, 04:36 PM.Patrick & Tammy

so I had this thing called plans... started to execute them... DEI wrap for the power steering lines
then this happened... well, before this, fireworks happened.... I was planning on drilling some holes, starting to run the battery cut off...
but no
how do you say no to that face?
so quiet things... measuring the air cleaner hold-down length... yeah, big things

That poor pup! Little Andy is the first guy we've had in some time who doesn't worry about kabooms. When ME and I got together she had an Aussie who would climb into the bath tub (a place she normally avoided at all costs) at the first crack of lightning, fireworks, etc. The Standard Poodles weren't that bad but would quake and hide if they could. Andy doesn't care as long as he has a lap - but he wants laps all the time anyway.

back to where I was a week ago...
don't see a leak (the pump with the hose on it)
the only place it might have leaked is the bottom bolt... but even so....
got a relay box in so I can start wiring stuff
and new steering wheel arrive
I did put DEI wrap around the hoses
trust but verify
Friday night picture, looks pretty much the same

success?
no
however, it was an easy fix.... so success
then came a lot of stuff like this... this was the alternator wiring
stripped it out of the harness, I'll repurpose the full-time power wire, though
installed the markers
and a battery cut-off switch
still have a ways to go... but one bite at a time

Today, Rad Rides posted up a new video about a wagon where they put an Art Morrison chassis under it.... to remind, I did this nearly 2 years ago.
So I did do jack today... twice
new hotness
old brokenness
wait.... which one is broken?
I was all ready to proclaim how my Costco jack outlasted 2 HF jacks.... which, old brokenness did... problem was that was a factory sealed new one that was broken when they put it in the box.... ah well, just 2 hours I'll never get back
putting the new, new one to work
and the divorce is final
finally get to use this cart
this didn't last long, but it fits so I can move stuff around if needed
stiff stripped off..... more to come
I'm bringing this blast from the past up because I think it's cool. Art Morrison now has a IRS chassis that uses all Camaro parts.... hmm, wonder where he came up with that idea? yeah.. I know it wasn't available when I did this because I looked at all the options - he was still using the Ford T-bird rear....
File this under "why I blog" maybe even "why I'm poor" too ;) still, more power to anyone who follows along and does it themselves.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; July 6, 2020, 02:50 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966
