put in the starter pedal followed by the toe board. then installed the lower & upper pedal plates, secured them in place and then put on the new pedal seals i made a while back. fit nicely !

when i put in the accelerator pedal, installed the anti rattle spring and such on the carburetor as well as the accelerator pedal return spring, which connects to one of the manifold studs.

set the pedal clearance from the toe board per hte manual and service news 1/4" - 1/2" i use a small 3/8" thick block and tape it to the back of hte toe board and adjust hte pedals using that. installed the clutch return spring, adjusted the clutch pedal, also set the stop on the shaft for the pedals. put the brake linkage back on from the proportioner.

put on the radiator and support to hold it in place. realized I needed to drop on the splash apron to help located the radiator as well. so a little tweaking, some measuring, etc., got the radiator lined up and the splash apron in place. snugged down the radiator and the supports. splash apron will get secured later when i put on headlamp bar with the stanchions. 

secured the headlamp wiring in place along the front under the radiator and belt, as well as up the side off the radiator. used a 3m stickie pad and zip tie

installed the lower radiator hoses and elbow with clamps

This is where I am as of now, getting close, going to install the Gano Filter on the coolant return line so I can monitor the fluid for a bit. then once content will put the solid hose in.

Hood will NOT go on until i am content with the timing, tuning, and operation of the driveline. unfortunately this is NOT my first rodeo with this car. but hopefully the last.

Put the last coolant line on this morning with the Gano Filter. 

tonight will go over everything and double check nuts, bolts, screws, timing, settings, etc... then start prepping for startup !!!

well this weekend did a recheck of nuts, bolts, connections...

sunday morning picked up fluids, and started to prep car for fire up. put in 600wt in trans, and put on top cover, put some in the u-joint housing. filled radiator up with 50/50 green and water. had a few drips on the hose connections, so snugged those up. put in plugs connected wires. double checked the double check.

dropped in the battery, connected it up, left disconnect OFF, then put in about 2 1/2 gallons in the tank and looked for leaks. all looks great.

flipped switch and bumped starter to make sure we had connection and lined up. good to go
