Another trip up to Auto Associates today to check on the project. The chassis is getting some final touch up before another coat of epoxy primer, then light undercoating on the floor bottom and backsides of the inner fender wells. Then the undersides, front trunk, engine compartment and rear trunk will get final paint in Lizard Green. After that, sometime in October, the car will come back to me for mechanical and electrical assembly including the engine build and installation. The plan is to get the car in running condition before it goes back to Auto Associates for final body work and paint including the installation of the GT flares, both trunk lids and doors. This will ensure the flares are properly aligned with the wheels & tires and the door gaps are set perfectly.

The doors and NOS rear quarters have been primed. The "Dent Magician" will make sure all the panels are perfectly smooth.

The engine lid is getting some final touch up and the GT Roll bar is awaiting the installation of the longitudinal diagonals.

We also had to move the wiring harness through hole in the engine shelf to align with the Mad Dog engine mount.

BTW, you'll want one of Ben's @mb911 very tidy oil line covers:

Tom make sure to remove the small brackets below the tailights of each rear fender.
Those are only for '75-'76 impact bumper cars

My engine parts came back from Ollie's yesterday. Nine months turnaround time. Now I have almost everything to start the engine assembly.

Cam towers and valve covers. Lower covers were drilled for twin plug, and the ribs were milled to allow added clearance for ease of removal. Both upper and lower covers were tumbled and resurfaced. The cam towers got new plugs and spray bars and were also tumbled.

Connecting rods. The rods were inspected for damage, resized and re-bushed. These will get new ARP rod bolts.

Most important...The crankcase. The case was inspected and resized to std. Through bolt holes were spot faced, oil squirters were cleaned and replaced as needed, the oil plugs were replaced, and the case was tanked and tumbled.

Hi Tom,

Can you tell me who you ordered the through the lid fuel filler funnel kit from?

One more project on my '74 that I would love to incorporate.

Regards,

Grant
