Didn’t get much time this weekend, so made the most of it. On Saturday morning, the guy who’d won my Boyds wheels on ebay came to collect them. I’d brought the old wheels from the Camaro home with me, so they went on for now. The car looked really bland, and I was gutted. Ah well. Time to move on. In the afternoon I fitted the fuel tank sender to the tank, then dug out the straps only to find I’d forgotten to paint them. I decided to give them a quick clean and use them anyway. I hung it under the car, then connected the braided hose ready to connect the hard line.

I’d already partially done the fuel line while the body was off, so I cut it roughly to length and then made the end. On Sunday I finished it off with P clips and then moved on to assembling the radiator. I drilled the frame to mount the fans, then bolted it all together with stainless bolts. A quick test fit and a few photos, then I took it back off the frame and wrapped it in cardboard and cling wrap to keep it safe till it’s needed. I was running out of time again so I quickly measured up the length of cable that my mate John had given me to do the boot mounted battery. Plenty spare, I’ll get onto that next weekend and give the motor a spin over with it all done.
