Guys project 74 Z28 by olstyle

9 minute(s) of a 380 minute read

Ya I'm bored lol
Just a quick vid of the oil preasure n water temp. The oil preasure reacts much better with the braided line instead of the POS plastic line.

I fabbed up a couple mounts to keep the top of the radiator in place. These will mount on each side about 4-5 inches from the top and bolt to the coresupport. Then I can sheetmetal the top nice n flat.

I hate waiting for paint to dry lol
I lined the brackets with some pad I had left over from the gas tank straps.

Got the side brackets and top piece on for the radiator.
I believe that completes under the hood for the first ever drive

EDIT: Looking at the last pic...............D@hm, still need an overflow tank.

If you have the 3 pices panels like mine, the piece that bolts to the door has slots in it for the 2 screws. If those are stripped maybe ya could make/bend up a new piece or weld or rivet a new piece to the old one with new holes.

Radio install

I got a small piece of lexan from Menards. Cut it to cover the big hole in the dash, then cut to fit the radio, then install. Gotta tiddy up the wires then I can put the passanger seat in

Radio n passanger seat DONE!!!

Got the windshield moulding sanded with 320 then 400, primed and painted trim black.

Should have the shocks tomorrow or Thursday
I will have the windshield and everything I need to install it Friday
I should have the wheels n tires and steering wheel Saturday
My paint supplier stopped over, I will have epoxy primer Monday.(not in stock, he has to order it)
Then all I will need will be some insurance.

So, as of today I am setting a "tentative" date for the first ever drive on Saturday 8/15/09

While looking her over, I figured I might as well hook up the throttle cable properly lol and threw on the chrome fender supports.
Also happened to glance at the pic count on photobucket..............guess what it is after today??? 1974............how cool is that

8-6-2009

Got the shocks today n got them installed. Thanks to Aaron(76_TypeLT)
Only got pics of the back, the batteries went dead in the camera and it takes 4hrs to recharge, from now on I will have a backup set all charged.
It is nice to bounce the car and it actually stops bouncing lol
Plus with the shocks being black they blend in nicely
