Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

I got the Power Steering reservoir mounted today....since the voltage regulator is no longer needed, I ended up mounting it right in that spot under the windshield washer bottle....worked out great...just in case I ever have to add fluid, it's just a couple of screws to remove the bottle assy.....I also got the radiator hoses all finished and added the coolant to the system.....not a drop leaked......I also changed the serpentine belt for a slightly shorter one......I'm waiting for a new turn signal switch to show up so I can finish all the under dash wiring and get that back together.....Exhaust hopefully later this week, then a front end alignment, then install the sheetmetal........getting close

You might want to install the front sheet metal first, then align.....just saying.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

As with most everything you do, ........ I'm impressed! Nothing else to say. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

I'll park my butt on the front while the alignment is going on.....LOL

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Got the deck lid on today while waiting for parts to arrive....everything was going smooth until I opened the bag of reproduction clips that were supplied to hold the rear trim in place......LOL.........Time to go to the Hardware store and get some hardware that might actually hold the trim on.......Imagine that!!!

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

nice work you are doing a fine fine job lights all working now ?

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Even though pictures wouldn't show any visual progress, I got a lot finished over the weekend....Got the Spal fan controller installed and programmed (Thanks Chad).....I had a couple of nagging electrical issues that had me pulling my hair out....one was I couldn't get the headlights to work.....I had power to the parking lights and turn signals but nothing to the headlights (new forward light harness).......Ended up being a loose connector in the headlight plug......so simple yet so difficult to find........(Big Smile)......I also had some issues with the Dakota Digital Tail lights.....the passenger side turn signals and brake lights didn't work.....even though I tested everything while installing them and they worked fine....I spent a lot of time cleaning contacts and still no luck.....got out the circuit tester and found that as I was cleaning up the harness and trimming off the old bulb connectors .......I trimmed off a wire that fed the Turn and brake lights....simple fix.....Duhhhhh!!!......
I also got the transmission gear selector module programmed and working to show what gear the trans was in on the dash display....pretty cool......I also will be putting the dash back in today or tomorrow and after getting the wires all neatened up under the dash, I got the radio speakers all wired up and ready to go.....Exhaust and Front end alignment this week....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Got the wood wheel installed today (64 center cap)......I also got the carpeting trimmed and got the rear panels and rear seat installed.......I then went and got my Shiney New reproduction window cranks out and tried to install them......Sheesh!!.....when I did the other car 4 years ago they didn't work..........you would think by this time they would figure out how to make them snap on like a stock GM one does.....LOL.....I guess I gave these these guy's too much credit.........Luckily I had a spare GM set in good condition....got them out and they snapped right on.......Gonna be a big box of repro Junk going back for &quot;Credit&quot;....Almost forgot.....the dual cone rear seat speaker I bought to fit in the rear seat (Special order)..........doesn't have a chance in hell of fitting either.....

Re: Next Years Power Tour Car
 

Got the front seat installed and pretty much all the wiring taken care of......I just have to run a few wires for the Satelite Radio......another problem with this Nu Yawk Survivor car popped up last week (when does it end)......I couldn't get the windshield wipers to work.....ended up the wiper motor was shot....Imagine that!!......so after looking and seeing what a new original type motor cost, I decided to go with a Newport Engineering aftermarket wiper setup....2 speed w/intermittent feature.....took all of 30 minutes to install......and it works beautiful.......Time to start putting the doors and sheetmetal on........
