Got it. Thanks a bunch Chris!

Ok...looks like I have my work cut out for me, but I'll do the best I can and see what I can come up with.

I'd be MORE than happy to pay your guy to make me up a set of the same pipes he did for you! (If that's even possible)

I will ask!

That'd be a life saver! Please let me know. I'll email you.


So here's the punch-list that is keeping me from starting this thing and taking it around the block.

Engine:
Re-work the cooling hoses so they're more secure.
Add fill-tank.
Re-connect all the wiring
Fill it with oil.

Intercooler:
Remove the wall in the trunk.
Plumb the intake/output piping
Add BOV to the air plumbing
Mount the radiator
Plumb the water lines

Wiring:
Finish the gauge cluster so I have a tach/speedo
Re-run the alternator and battery lines.

That's the short-list anyway. I'm going to start trying to put an hour in 2-3 days a week until I cram this list out. You'd think this would be easy now that I don't have the kids most of the time! I just have a lot going on.

...it's not going to finish its self though!

I had a thought last night.

I am checking to see if my local guy can weld an output for the BOV to my intercooler. That'd kill 2 birds with one stone.

Something like this.

Or have him weld up some pipe and put a junction so you have some flex and be able to replace it if it goes south. You can vent straight from there into the exhaust or open air.
That works!

On second thought, I can just drill out a hole and taps so I can mount it directly. All I'd have to do is make a gasket at that point. If it goes south, I can just mount another one up later.

OK....we have some progress to report.

I talked to the guy that built my motor and I'm shipping the car off to him next week to do the intercooler, radiator, and fuel system for me. Those are the three pieces that have been keeping me from finishing this off, and my skill-set isn't going to get any better on its own. If I get him the car now, I should be able to get it back in early February...which is still plenty of time for me to get it ready for spring. I'll be concentrating on the interior and electronics once I get it back. THAT is something I'll be able to handle on my own once the mechanicals are set.

So Hershey is still my goal...just not the 2014 Hershey. ;-)

I've printed Chris' photos and I'm sending them with the car. Hopefully, we'll have the same air-to-water intercooler setup after all is said and done. One of my goals is to make sure the roof still fits in the back though.

While the car is away, I'm going to focus on the dashboard, bumpers, and roof so those are ready to go too.
