The rad is a stock 78 Rocco, without the expansion tank in the engine bay...
I think I actually lowered the hood line, just a bit, when I welded the new fender supports on either side; hood clearance seems like an issue with a lot of things now...
Yesterday night, worked a bit more, pics to follow:
Fabbed a metal bracket for throttle cable, fabbed the new battery box for the Braille battery, all fuel hoses, pump, regulator & fittings, all tight & well routed, shifter linkage adjusted & tightened, underneath of the car, doubled checked ready to go on its wheels, front end buttonned up; tie-rods, ball joints, CV joints , all torqued & ready for alignement...
Steering column installed, rack and universal joint mated, double checked brake lines, grommeted speaker wires in doors.
Tommorow night after work:
Seats to be installed & wheels to be fitted; then stance adjustment to be performed!
