I think I will be able to reverse the petal pad and still clear the steering rack. That will help with the height some. Its also tipped way forward in this picture. Walter, you can’t just drop that cryptic message without context. I’m a delicate flower and too fragile at this point in the...

I take your “rat’s nest” comment as a compliment. That description is a massive improvement from the abortion that existed before. I now have 7 plugs and the capillary tube to connect the dash. This experience was a fantastic blessing in disguise. I found that I connected a white ground...

Thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

How much did you allow to collapse?

My original plan with the dash and wiring was extremely short sighted. I, like many, didn’t have the steering rack. So, I went ahead and wired the dash directly. I left all of six inches of slack. Well you can imagine the nightmare when I had to disconnect everything to get the steering...

I also finished the steering. There is very little room for the petals. I had to reverse the brake petal pad and cut the end off to get clearance. Even without the plates for the adjustable petals it’s close. I did cut the shelf and recessed the rose joint (I think that’s what it is called).

Wiring question: The Davies pump uses ground to activate the fan relay. This uses pin 85. They suggest jumping pin 86 to 30. Which brings 12 volts thru pin 86 The problem I’m having is the diagram for the vintage air wiring uses 12 v thru pin 85 and I think ground is 86 via the trinary...

Pics of the gearbox linkage and remote oil filter. Not a lot of space at the rear of the chassis with the external slave cylinder.

Here is the electric water pump. It is located right next to the spine opening. Very tight fit for all the plumbing.

The fuel lines have been completed.

I have 4 an hard line from the top of the radiator to bleed into the overflow tank. I plan on taking another line from the top of the engine above the thermostat housing as well. Is there a reason I can’t T them together at the tank? Or is it better to weld another bung into the tank?

I’m back. I took July and August off. It was a combination of frustration, heat and burn out. I have been hard at work and will try to document as best I can. My coolant system is nearly finished. ✅

Congratulations!!

I have a ford 351 and a Davies Craig electric water pump with the adaptor plate rather than mechanical pump. Where should I connect the T stat bypass too? Should it be plugged?

Thank you. RCR is sending new brackets.

Does anyone know if the e brake bracket from RCR comes in different lengths? Mine rubs the inside of the rim

I cut it out.

After finally getting this car off the dolly using the 2 engine hoist technique. I measured the wheel base at 94 and 3/8 inches. The rocker looks to me like it should be centered on the wheel edges. Therefore my rocker needs to move 1 inch to the back.

Unless you get talked into paying extra for body alignment. Starting over. Dammit.
