Here are a few photos, couldn't really get any of the braided trans lines being installed. It has been a very slow process but anything is a step in the direction to getting it running.

Love it ! Keep it up
Nice progress. Any is a good thing. Enjoy the vacation.
Thanks guys and I will John.
I have made a couple small steps in moving this forward. I have already committed to several individuals on here to having this running this coming spring, can't let them down and most importantly, myself. Here is the photo of the Florida 5.0 instrument dash cluster, just missing a speedo, going to call Auto Meter today about that.

I still have an open invitation to those that may be interested in giving me a hand, not specifically targeted at anyone (Chad). Lol
If I don't work this Saturday and IF I can get finished Friday what I helped Adam @ S&M Motorsports start this past Tuesday (or at least get a good start on it Friday evening) I may be able to come help you some on Saturday afternoon. That assuming as well my wife doesn't have anything planned for us. One of these days however I need to get off my arse and paint the ceiling and walls in the living room that has been repaired since it fell in back in April. Still have all the pictures and stuff laying in the back bedroom. Hate the thought of having to mask off to paint because she wants yellow walls with a white ceiling.
Say hi to my stang chad there at s and m. Starting to forget what it looks like.
^^^ Saw it sittin up there on the lift Tuesday. Looked good. Whens it going to be road worthy again?
Chad, his stang was waiting on MSD to repair the distributor and for a new starter, Adam has that now so it is a matter of time.
Now on to bigger and better cars here, mine. Lol
All in the eye of the beholder. Lol. Thats all I can say is get that thing done.
Pushing to make things happen this weekend never the less, will be working on the trans cooling lines and some fuel plumbing.
Just read the entire thread and looked at all the pics. Yes, I understand what you were saying about the door handles now. Car looks incredible. You are taking your time and doing it right. Keep it up! Can't wait to hear it light up. Put the stock dash harness back in and body wiring. Everything will work and it's easy to get power and ignition power for your electronics that way too. Glad your finger didn't hold you back too much.
Thanks Mike, I do have all the original wiring for this in the basement waiting with anticipation to install it. Finger is getting better everyday and ready to get in there and finish what I need to. Stop down and check it out in person, could always use some friendly help. Lol
Now out into the garage, I went and got fresh fuel for the torpedo heater and it will have that place warm in about 5 minutes.
What all do you have left to get this done? Im ready to see it out come spring!
Need to finish plumbing the fuel, trans cooler, NOS, wire in the ignition, cooling fans, fuel pump, trans brake and gauges. I'm sure there is a little more but this will get me to the point I can think about firing it up Brian.
Nos. The engine is going to be to fast for u. Lol. Hopefully while im laid off for a few weeks we can get it done. Unless mine still have issues Iwwill be to depressed to help. Lol
It will be different compared to what we are used to but scared, not sure about all of that. You will be here whether you like it or not and this will be running by this spring.
Lol I know. Someone has to get it done.
Did some work tonight on this, started plumbing the trans cooling lines from the trans. Have the fans mounted and some photos of the fuel lines running through the frame rail.

Looks like your making good progress.
Is the hose end in the last picture not on all the way? The one going into the frame rail.
Yup, I will keep picking at it until it's go time.
Correct Brian, it is mocked up to insure fitment. I'm going to put something around the edges to keep the fuel line from being cut. Therefor, I will pull it back off to do that then re-install it completely.Quote:

Well, even if you just get some time to stop by, do so.
Will do! Id like to check out the car! Gonna be pretty cool when its done!
Finished the trans cooling lines last night, now on to the fuel lines.
One step closer to getting this thing running.
12s here you come. Cant wait to see the front end come up and you pucker up.
12's huh, as long as it doesn't blow up, that will be a step in getting it to go down the track safely.
12's idling maybe, Lol
I have believe it or not been working on the coupe, little by little. This car must being running by spring, God help me succeed...
:-)
I couple photos of some more progress, little by little and this will get finished.
Messing with how I'm going to run the wires, I think I'm going to run them from the back side.
I as well have mounted the fuel pressure regulator up front permanently with existing brackets.

The fuel lines from the regulator to the carb are now installed as well. Another tiny step toward getting this thing running.
Looking good!!! This thing will be ready to fire before ya know it!!
Thanks Brian, I couldn't wait on you any longer. Just kidding, LOL
I'm doing my best to get this thing ready and track worthy.
