The newly revised Gill Welding Fat Pipe showed up in the mail yesterday. They made this one a smaller overall height than the first one and only put in 1 slip joint to help reduce height. It fits! I can slip my finger between the tailpiece of it and the grease fitting on the pitman arm now, so...

Progress has been pretty slow for the last month or so... had some family and work stuff to deal with, and I'm now deep into electrical wiring, which is somewhat confusing since some stuff stays, some stuff goes, some gets replaced, etc... Also moving the battery to the trunk and swapping to the...

This beauty showed up in mail today... very nice...

Weekend update: 1. Radiator hoses installed. 2. Heater hoses ran. 3. Fuel pressure gage installed. 4. Relocation of battery to trunk pretty much done except running the big wire to the front. 5. Currently in process of removing/adding stuff to factory wiring harness in order to function with all...

Possibly might at some point, but I'd spent a decent $ last year on the TTI Single exhaust system, so figured I'd at least try utilizing it first before swapping to duals... Thanks for following along!

Weekend update: 1. Electric fan installed and radiator bolted fast. Still need to put in the radiator hoses. 2. New, less crusty alternator mechanically installed. 3. Cut down the length of the mandrel bend and installed the air cleaner. 4. Installed the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, and...

Weekend update: 1. Got the radiator and alternator temporarily installed. Didn't realize the mechanical fan wasn't gonna work with the supercharger, so have an electric fan coming.... Also can't bring myself to leave the super crusty alternator on there when everything else is so pretty, so have...

Nice to see an old sewing machine like that getting some use! My first ex-wife had a similar one that I had to move from house to house to house probably 8 times... Never once did it actually get used though...

Bummer about the extra effort but at least he's making it right, or at least trying to.

Finally back in the hole! Still have tons to do but it was a good day!

I had that same fight with a steering coupler recently... for something so simple, it sure was a pain to deal with.... but got it. I've enjoyed watching along with your huge project- I hope it drives splendidly soon!

If someone sits in the seat will it compress enough to touch the speaker, or is there enough clearance?

Finished up the distributor lockout and got it reinstalled along with new cap, rotor, and wires. I'd hoped to get the engine bolted back in this weekend but realized I'd forgotten to get a new oil pump, and also found I needed to get the special batwing washers from Aussiespeed for the new...

What headlights are those that you installed? I managed to break one of mine when removing recently, so need to come up with something different.

Gotta pick up a few #10 flat washers tomorrow, but aside from that I think I'm done with the lockout of the standard electronic distributor... Even managed to use the old tag that was on the distributor along with some more JB Weld to cover the hole left after removing the vacuum advance...
