I enlisted the efforts of all the members of
Rochester Street Rods and Finger Lakes Classic Chevrolet clubs. We had Len Ball, Tom Deyle,
and John Norton.
All are welcome Saturday mornings 9 to when ever. |
|
Lenney Ball took on the task of finishing up
the strip out of the inside of the car |
|
 |
|
Ok, the inside is ready to go forward. We now
have to start the design of the new dash, gauges, and control panel
to run the car. The only thing left here that needs to be removed is
the clutch pedal as this is now an automatic. Thanks Mr. Ball.
Mr. Ball there will be subs for lunch next week! |
 |
John took on the job of stripping out the
OEM fuel line with the assistance of Lenny. |
|
It is a good thing we did this as it was found
the the fuel line was crushed flat where it ran over the top of the
ladder bar on the right side of the car. Ir is a wonder the engine
got any fuel at all. |
 |
Here is the trunk at the start of the day.
This view will forever be changed by the end of the day! We are
finial going in the right direction. Bolting stuff in for good. |
 |
You may have seen the build of this battery
tray before. The key here it is that is has been bolt in for the
finial time here.

 |
Battery to be installed. FedEx had a hard time
finding it's home. It took them two tries to get it here. |
 |
Here is Tom working on the getting the correct length for the new
battery cables. The common them of my pictures this week of the
contributors was not to get their faces in the shots. I will work on
this next week. |
 |
It's in it's new home. We did not get to make
up any new cables as my propane torch was acting up. We will start
on them this coming weekend. |
 |
Protective shield for the sump of the fuel
cell.

FRank, we did pay attention to your
presentattion on how to put AN fittings on braided lines. This is
the line that will go between the fuel cell and the filter.

You can see the filter through the original
fill of the car. The safety shutoff switch will be mounted here and
you will then not be able to see this view. |
 |
Well guys what do you think. I for one think
it looks great. |
