73 Duster build named Fred
Days 11 and 12 were pretty productive. Got the engine compartment painted F4 green, installed the engine, trans, headers, fuel tank and started routing the under hood wiring as well as mock up the exhaust. While installing the headers, I found out that I must not have had the engine sitting in the car just right because now they don't fit. Had to open up the holes in the fender wells and pull the power steering gear box. Decided rather than beat on the headers, I am going to convert to manual steering and wouldn't you know it? Someone put up a brand new PST manual box for sale on the forum today just as I was about to order one. Snagged it up and ordered a pitman arm and universal since I plan to extend the steering column myself.
