The Great Pumpkin - '71 Duster
OK, got most of the trans cooler lines in which was a big hurdle to clear. What a P.I.T.A. There is so much stuff in the way and very little room to route the lines while keeping them away from the exhaust and moving parts.
I considered running them over the K frame and along the oil pan like factory but decided to put them back against the driver side frame rail where they were before. Came out OK!
The last bit related to the trans is the shifter cable and that should be it in that department.
Started mounting up the fuel/carb stuff and some of the accessories last night. Beginning to look like an engine!
Have been working on cutting the radiator brackets like I mentioned in my last post. The aluminum is very soft, cuts really easily. I will need to find/make some brackets now. They have them at my local speed shop, should find something that could work.
Other than that, there is a somewhat lengthy punch list of mostly small, random stuff that needs to be addressed then it's fire in the hole!
More to come, stay tuned!
