Got the engine mounts in, but still need to tighten all the bolts

And here's the transmission mounts, but I need to flip over one of the top plates

Attached Image

And the axles are bolted up

Attached Image

Now to make sure the engine is lined up right. Not sure how this is done yet.

What's with the dust on your suspension? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) Just kidding! Your car is awesome. Mine will never be that clean.

Jim came by yesterday and helped me get some more work done. We got some of the bolts in the tin on. Its one of those jobs that takes one person
above the engine and the other under. We got the transmission rod installed, but I still need to do the alignment.

I got the muffler ( or is it called a final) installed and I relocated the MSD box because it was too close to the rain hat.

I was hoping to get the clutch and trottle cables done, but needed to order some hardware to finish the job. Also needed to order the hard oil line that comes off the bottom of the case.

I got the fittings attached to the braided lines. That was more work than I expected. I was hoping that I measured them correctly, because they looked short.

I attached the bottom oil line to the tank before installing it

Attached Image

Then I bolted in the tank

Attached Image

Maybe this will help me to remember what a pain it is
to get at the back bolt

Here's the view of the line as it comes off the oil cooler
Its not touching anything, that's an optical illusion.
My son in law dropped of a claws foot wrench I can use to
tighten the fitting

Attached Image

And I still need to install a support, but the drain is in a good location

Got the fuel lines and filters connected today

Attached Image

Changed the angle of the oil pressure gauge on the block, so it
is easier to read

Attached Image

and added some hangers for the cables so they were out of the way

Attached Image

Then i connected the clutch cable so I could figure out how much
I want to have it shortened. There's a guy in town that makes cables and he said most likely he could fix it for me

I attached the negative side of the battery today. Headlights were backwards. Raised in the off position and lowered in the on. Easy fix. The alarm for the key in with the door open seems to be going off sometimes. I'm thinking that's one of the door switches.
Added oil.
I cranked the engine over just to see if the starter worked and everything sounded normal. I need to find my spark plugs. They must be somewhere.

I thought I'd update the build thread now that the car is moving under its own power.
I installed a new exterior mirror on the driver's side. It sure is nice to be able to see what's behind me.

Attached Image

And thanks to Bob I have a combo gauge now

Attached Image

and I drove the car to gas station tonight. I still need to bleed my brakes and get
an alignment. Front end sure is light under power and I'm thinking a corner balance will reduce that.

Very cool thread to read and an inspiration for guys like me who are starting out on the other side of that tunnel that you are almost all the way out of.
