Bracket welding done and painted

Installed on engine in car to check belt alignment. I still had the AC belt back when original compressor was on car in 1982 and it fits.

Yeah car looks awesome. Get it running then paint outer body?

Removed compressor for better view of AC brackets.

Modifying an extra '69 and earlier AC bracket to mount Sanden compressor. Goal is to use the front third grove in crank pulley as original AC belt did. Also use original AC idler pulley setup. Rear support bracket is custom and mounts to a longer water pump to timing cover bolt. Original...

The emblem holes for the fish and emblem holes for the formula s emblem are in different locations. Other wise trim panel the same. The black is a semi gloss. Like SEM Trim Black would look good although I dont know if its an exact OEM match.

Congrats getting that awesome car out for others to see. Very cool!

Not a thing. All a bunch of happy campers here.

I got a local one person body shop guy who has painted 3 non-mopar project cars for me. Guy has 30 years experience he is the best. I ALWAYS give him couple extra hundred above his asking price. Now he shut shop down cause tired of dealing with *** hole customers. But guess what? When I...

Great progress. Love the red.

Car should not have been released until you were paid for work done. You should have held car until you were paid your due. Was a written agreement sign ahead of time? Did you keep a detailed list of time and materials? And unless someone has actually done the work you did, which was...

Amazing how nice floors and trunk look

Metal work on those vents outstanding

About an hour drive each way, several hundred cars at show, made the trip fine. Brake pedal feels more mushy then it should like brakes need more thorough bleeding. But otherwise car ran good. A lot of 5'th and 6'th gear driving at speed low RPMs engine stays nice and cool. Over drive gears...

Put these out at car shows because a lot of ppl do not know what year car is etc...

Had to use compound to get over spray off of paint. A lot of dirt grime came off paint too. Steel wool to get over spray off bumpers. Can't tell it went through floor replacement now. Plan to drive it an hour away for large local show today. I think its all good mechanically.

Sprayed cavity wax in frame rails, sub frame connectors, and floor cavity under back seat. The wands spray 360 degrees and allow you to get all the way into the voids. Sprays like water seeps into all the cracks then dries hardens to keep moisture off of any bare metal that might be in there...

That car has come a long way. Gonna be so worth it when its done.

Yeah that was a big goal to get car ready for Carlisle given car hadn't run in decades.

Color looks spectacular in the sun light

Yeah brighter reverse lights thats good

So when roads are dry you take it out for some drives?

If head light wiring old worn out Year One sells new M&H wire harnesses which are identical to the originals. Just unplug old harness at firewall and plug new harness in.

I went back and looked at how eng comp used to look. Wow what a transformation!

Cars can rust in garages with concrete floors too if grading/drainage is not good around it allowing water to seep in under the floor.

Yeah I always narrow my focus on specific area specific task at hand. Near term achievable goals. Then one goal at a time one after the other. Then one day its like hey car is finally ready for paint.

Eng comp looks great!

Back at gas station again. I had to add a cooler for PS system. Was losing assist when system heat soaked. After adding cooler i see 134 degrees out of box and 116 degrees into pump. Cooler sees 100 degrees in and 95 degrees out. 40 minute drive curvy country roads steering is working...
