Last night and tonight's progress, I restored the red oxide harness clips that hold the intermediate harness to the quarter panel lip as well as installed the harness code tape on the rear light harness.
The entire date coded and original GM smog system was fully restored and installed back on the engine today. NO reproduction parts here!
Installed the fuel tank gas line and admittedly not sure if they used "SWAN GAS" in 1969 like they did in 1970 as the old fuel lines were so weathered I could not make out any markings on them.
The speedo clip is slightly different than what I am used to seeing on early 70 cars. No one makes this clip so I made it per a photo I received from someone who had this on a similar dated 69 Chevelle.
That's it for now as Annie and I are going to tackle the exhaust system tonight and put her welding skills to test. It has been over 10 years since she last welded but when I told her I wanted her to take an active role in the restoration I was not joking. Just like riding a bike.....I hope......
