3 minute(s) of a 140 minute read

I got to finally paint the steering column, wheel hub and my NOS bottle holder. I also started running the NOS line through the car and into the engine bay. Still trying to figure out where to come out of the cowl section. i ran the hose into the passenger lower side where my a/c line go through. Hopefully i figure it out. trying to keep my electrical wires hidden under the hood.

Last week i moved my fuel log over about 6" to the passenger's side. this would stop it from getting hot from the electric fan. it was right in front of it. then i redid the lines and some fittings. i had to put a 45* on the back carb line and take off the 1/2" npt fitting on the log and straight fitting on the main fuel line. i replaced it with a 90* hose fitting to 1/2" npt. I also installed the NOS fuel line and solenoid.

I also ordered new switches for the purge and NOS arming. I painted the plate and mounted the switches. the panel also has the windshield wiper switch. this panel gets installed where the original radio was. the first one is the purge, second arming and third ww.

I've been working on the NOS system, both wiring and plumbing. My electrician is now working a shutdown and i don't know when he can get back to it. i have painted the nos bottle bracket and created a new bracket for the NOS solenoid and purge. I routed my nos line through the car and to the solenoid. We started on the wiring inside and routed the wires to the solenoids. Just nothing connected. I also had to modify my NOS heater. it was too long to fit into the NOS bracket. So i cut off about 1/8" and had a friend tack it back together. it was chrome plated aluminum.

I also put my scratches in two of my center console aluminum pieces. then i went to a friend's house and bent it to the correct angle. I went home and cleared coated the pieces. Last night i had to sand the edges to get it to fit in the console. I still have some more trimming to do. i will have pics coming soon. Thanks for checking out my progress.
