Thanks guys, you know I needed that, everything but the black out the hoses. Some people dig them, and some don't. Its a customer's car, so to be honest I bought black too, just in case he doesn't dig it. He hasn't see it yet. He is coming over Saturday.
Okay, here we go, I will try to answer the questions:
The owner went to a junk yard a bought a mid 80's Chevy Astro van Hydro-Boost for $75 and said, okay R&D this for me and see what you can do. I moved the centerline of the hole over 3/4" to 1" and up maybe 1/2" from original, towards the drivers side, away from engine. Also, enlarge the hole some. The plunger rod now bolts to the drivers side of the brake pedal arm. You must shime the passenger side 1/4" to 5/16" to make up for the driver's side setting on the body rib. The difficult part is when you move it over like that, the bolts go right into the inside brackets of the old steering and brake structure. The plasma torch helped out here. Then I made a clocking bracket approximately 180 degrees (pretty simple, two hole and two studs welded) to position the Wilwood master where you want it. I have many pics and will open a thread just on that later.
Yes, its House of Kolors Tangelo Pearl, its amazing, its one color at noon, and completely different at midnight. It color shifts as you walk around the car.
Yes, AC. Its Classic Auto HVAC self contained unit $1000. Not easy, but not rocker science either.
Headlight harnesses are hung top of inside of fenders in wire looms.
Yes, lots of welding on the dash and towers, body work, metal glaze, and blocak sanding.
The customer and I went to Bouchillon Performance out of South Carolina and let Randy put a package together for this build (Engine, K-Frame (RMS), coil overs for rear, HVAC, all accessories fro engine, TTI headers, ect) for a total of $22K. Real nice getting a lot of it from the same place.
I need to hang the door this weekend, build 409 SS exhaust, bleed brakes then test drive. We went with the RAM 1500 545 RFE tranny from PATC out of Louisana with 2600 stall converter and a 8-3/4" Mopr rearend and had a local shop do us up a 3:73 posi unit
with Moser axles. Large red Wilwoods drilled and slotted on all four corners.
Go to get to work, Thank you guys, Tom
