Wire Tuck (with pics)
Moderator
This is awesome
so I'm waiting for the clear to fully cure and for payday before I cut and buff to avoid any shrinkage and to acquire some new tools so around Wednesday until then I'm going to start focusing on the wire tuck again depending on how late I get off work today I should have an update on that later tonight
time to plastidip (REAL PLASTIDIP) your tool handles so when your cranking down bolts the ratchet doesn't spin and knock into a painted surface. I used to be rushing/careless and that would happen all the time, doesn't matter on the stock engine bay because who gives a ****. I got a harbor freight rubber coated ratchet set works great for a weekend mechanic, and never have that issue again.

any who update time
engine is in the car, installed a quick disconnect plate for fuel lines and the boost reference line, fuse box is in place wiring from the cabin has been run up to the fuse box but not soldered, I'm still figuring out wire protection and how to keep water from entering the cabin with the giant hole, about ready to start work on rewiring the engine harness, waiting on a specialty flaring tool to do the new brake lines
i have photos but photobucket is being a little C-U-N-T and wont upload
Ok guys sorry for the lack of updates, progress on this project is very slow, for those who don't know me outside the forum I recently got promoted into management at work so that is eating a LOT of my time. Any who I got the accessories bolted to the engine and started on the braking system. as part of my wire tuck and bay shave I am relocating the brake distribution block to the firewall so I had to cut and flare the brake lines which I might add are a PITA to flare as they are stainless steel AND powder coated. but the lines are flared to accept the new lines, I also ordered and installed a THMotorsports braded clutch cable, replaced the nipple fittings on the intake manifold with AN ports. started on the wiring placement. In addition, built a wire shield to protect the wires in the wiper area from being damaged. ill upload more pics later
