More stuff knocked off the TO DO list... checked out the operation of my sirens and one set isn't working, so I'll have to dig into them and see what's going on.

Finished the wiring to the lighted visor...
























as well as getting the high output alternator wiring wrapped up.





















Installed the firewall vacuum tee...




















the smaller vacuum canister on the driver side wheelhouse...























and temporarily mounted the AC compressor so I could hang the compressor mounted power steering cooler to determine the routing of the power steering cooling circuit.


















Also lit off the 460 to get a bit of heat into the motor to evaporate the remaining coolant in the block. The engine compartment is slowly looking complete once again.




















Next weekend, I'll work on getting the radiator and AC condenser reinstalled as well as rehanging the front fenders in preparation for installing the headlight buckets and header panel.

Don't touch that dial.....

A bit more progress this weekend.... got the liner clips attached and the liners mounted to the fenders.












































I then turned my attention to the power feed for the passenger side illuminated visor mirror. Had to tap into the hot feed for the dome maps lights for power....



















and then added the green wire to continue on to the passenger side visor. Next weekend I'll wrap up that run  before moving on to the next item of my TO DO list.

Until next time...

Well it's been a few weeks so I thought I'd better bring things up to date before something fell thru the cracks....

Weekend before last was a short day so we could attend the wedding of my wife's best friend, but I did get the passenger side front fender baffle about 95% completed. Got the rubber seals cut for both sides...










added J nuts to the power antenna lower bracket for mounting...
















drilled out the fender baffle mounting screws for clearance of the antenna bracket mounting bolts and got everything mounted into positioned...





















so I could design, cut and form the top baffle clip...





















and cut as well as laying out the clip for the driver side baffle.




















Last weekend I had to hang around the house to wait for some furniture to be delivered before heading out to my older brother's 50th wedding anniversary, but thru the week I did get my vacuum lines cleaned up so I could determine what could be reused and what needed to be replaced...
































This weekend, I wire wheeled the intake vacuum port in preparation for replating…






















got the bracket made for the driver side wheel liner, blasted both brackets and painted them, replaced the hinge bolts with the new ones from AMK, hung the power steering cooler on the core support...


















and mounted the two Dynamax sirens to insure they didn't interfere with the cooler.



















I fired up the 460 to put a bit of heat in the block to help evaporate the remaining coolant. Noticed I have drain plugs in the block so next weekend I'm gonna try and remove them to see if the remaining coolant will drain out so I can get ready to install the radiator and fill it with the Evans waterless coolant.

That's all for this installment.

More to come...
