68 4-door "Sleeper"
It's been a while since I updated, so here it goes.
I bought some shock plates from Mancini Racing (thanks "DARTGAME"). They fit great.
I finished the steering column and brakes. I decided to remove the line-lock. I can see myself getting into trouble with that. Also, I ordered from Mancini Racing a new master cylinder, a power brake booster, and a master cylinder offset plate. (it should be here soon). I thought I could live with manual brakes, but I am getting old, so I want power everything.
I also started on the wiring. I put the Summit rear mounted battery kit in the trunk and bolted it down.
I tapped the frame to mount the negative cable. I didn't want to have to use a nut. Plus, I feel like it gets better metal-to-metal contact being threaded like that.
I began working on the dash, too. I cut some sheet metal out of the dash to put in my new dash.
Then, I cut out a cardboard template that I will transfer to sheet metal.
I ordered some guages from http://www.speedhut.com. I like the GPS based speedometer that they have. Plus, the guages look cool, too.
My inspiration for my dash is another one that I found here on FABO. (I can't remember who had this dash. I wanted to give you credit.)
As a reminder, I bought the Ron Francis wiring harness. I really like this wiring harness, too. Good instructions and every wire labeled every couple of inches.
In addition to the wires, I bought some of the split braided wire loom and this kick-*** tool for getting the wires into the loom.
That's all for now. I will post more progress pics soon.
