with the fitting im going to use mocked up


once the fitting was welded on i masked the valve cover


media blasted it



now its ready for powdercoat

the driver side floor plate lands right where the fuel lines go.


i had to remove these 2 studs/posts



all bolted together I rotated one of the bolts so the flat was parallel to the fuel line.



protected the hard lines from chaffing with some fuel tubing split down the middle

Hey Alex,

I was going back through the thread looking at the Harness mounting points we were texting about, and seeing this makes me so nervous. That portion of the body is really thin and in a worst case scenario that plate could puncture through the fuel lines making a bad situation a LOT worse. Maybe Im just being paranoid, but this scares me and I would rather speak up about it now, rather than later...

In other news, I will probably use your link to purchase the stuff to mount the harness, do you have enough spare metal to make me a set of your plates?

Hope to see you on the track soon!

Ok, as long as you are comfortable with it. Like I said, it just looked bad to me, and I thought I better say something rather than stay quiet.

I got my valve cover back from powdercoat


My buddy Andrew hooked me up with polished s54 valve cover nuts.

Installed.
With a hidden oil catch can

All new ignition components


Gapping spark plugs


My buddy took this sweet shot on our way to cars and coffee in Aliso Viejo.

Is that the rare Dundler Mifflin overflow for your radiator?

Sure is.

My wife had several friends that worked for Kleen kanteen
And they had a few extra they gave the employees.
And my wife loves the show the office so her friend gave her one.
It got moldy after a while and the wife was gunna throw it out. When I said I could use it
