71 Duster 360 (new project)

what a day...got moroso electric water pump hooked up after trip to Lowes to get long enough bolts...

radiator went in and then out...then ordered an aluminium 2 core from fellow mopar guy...that was on my wish list for this car....got other items..not needed now....

got trans cooler mounted...got driver side headers up..dam TTi flanges are so thick...need their 1 inch long bolts...the 3/4 header bolts hardley engage the heads....called and ordered a set this afternoon...

got shifter linkage hook up...and then uninstalled ..to get cooler lines ...got rear line hook up from trans to cooler...but not the front line...wow...

the front cooler line from the trans I use a #6 120 degree fitting...Earls to be exact...and I have a tool that makes installed braided line pretty simple...well..this is the first fitting that i can not get the braided line to slide in....unbelievable...that one fitting is the last thing i have to do under the car...except the driveshaft...

funniest part...i could not find that fitting for several hours...looked everywhere..even blamed jeg's ...i found the blister package...figured there must have been a 90 degree in there by mistake....

well...looking for my keys at the end of the day...i still my hand in my pants pocket...and ****...it is in my right hand pocket....It is hell getting old..anyway in my panic...I had already ordered another fitting from summit ....but still could not get the line into the hose end...tomorrow is another day...

Got my carpet now...and dash pad caps...need to spend a few hours finishing the interior....still gotta make a rear firewall...
