Need to figure out where I can put a battery, there’s a battery box behind the drivers seat but I think it would be better to put on the passenger side
Thinking about one of those 21 pound DEKA batteries. Maybe the trunk? Or I can make an enclosure for inside the passenger compartment but I think I’d rather not
Harness rubs on the seat a little bit but if it wasn’t that far back it seems like it will be too verticals
Trying to think of any other “dirty” fabrication things I need to do, would like to push car and clean everything for final assembly
Exhaust fits decent, put it on the ground again for some motivation
Fender fill from fuel cell fill plate
Hopefully this works
a good bit of wires left to run still and battery cables
Kind of concerned, realized the connector kit I have are made out of thin steel that kind of bends easy, should have known. May consider redoing some of the connections, most are behind the switches, those will probably be ok, mainly concerned about the ones feeding power to the relays and such
Think the terminals are ok for the most part, have a couple ring terminals I’ll change out though
Looks like you’re getting close!
I thought that two months ago lol
Was able to stop by that place I sent, going to get my fuel lines made here, out of Teflon instead of rubber hose
Well found out radiator leaks today, really not sure what I’m going to do. Might just have to redo everything I made worst case
the dry sump tank is leaking also but that should be fixable, still a pain with having to take it out
In reply to ctk339 :
Aluminum radiators respond well to 2 part epoxy. Find location of leak by slight pressurization and soapy solution. Bubbles indicate leak area.
Drain completely, spray brake parts cleaner over area. Let dry. Mix up 2 part epoxy and cover leak generously.
I repaired a hole in my radiator that way and it was still holding decades later.
Fuel pump wasn’t working, Turns on the relay with the kit was bad, idk if that’s from me welding with it in the car or what, but I’ll order another.
Oil tank came out decently easy, waiting on gasket, if the gasket fits I’ll use it, if not the existing gasket seems ok and I’ll just add some rtv and put it back together
radiator leak is pretty bad, going to take it to a radiator shop, it seems kinda in the core and hard to get to, I’ll see what they say. C&r has a 31x16 radiator at summit if it doesn’t work, I’ll have to make all new brackets though
Have one more leak, sort of my fault, and oring didnt fit that well but I put together anyways
Finally started it though
Really need to clean my shop, just trying to knock out little things now
Lookin good!
Doesnt look like much changed but there has been hours of work lol
Car idles like crap, I need to figure out how to manually tune it at idle
