Trust me I bet 3/4 of this forum looks ten times worse than that! It's just hiding up under the dash and you can't see it. Yes this is a golden opportunity to walk right up to that big spaghetti mass and get it fixed at right like we always wanted it. Not upside down with a flashlight and a piece of electrical tape trying to twist some wires together! But actually out on a bench in front of me where I can use solder and shrink wrap and make things nice?!
I knew something was missing! And when I found it I didn't think of this comment....
Now it all makes sense! LMFAO!!!
I reckon I can open the glove box for air flow? LOL It does make sense though. On the other hand it was always right there up on the fender. of course my Fender walls being Day 2 black and no hood and never had what I thought was a problem. But you saying this now will definitely jinx me so I've got to give it some thought.
Oh she likes Batman. I think her point was that I am not Batman.
Yeah that was kind of my first thought was building a little wall back there behind the glove box door. I definitely do want that open the door and there it is kind of thing. Which got me a little bit on the fence about building that, is it's not the old cardboard kind. It seems I have this newer one that's hard plastic kind of two piece that folds together. Possibly I could use just the bottom half of it and that way getting more circulation underneath there?
Oh yes that's the method I use when I bend metal. It's all by hand clamping things down and banging. And I love it! Thank goodness I used to do a lot of scrap metal in so I have a small decent supply of sheet metal and aluminum sheets. And even a little bit of stainless steel. Tomorrow is a goner got to do projects for a friend. But Wednesday and Thursday I should be full tilt on all things that are wiring in the dashboard. I'm going to try and stay completely focused on all this wiring and dashboard until it's 90% done at least. I was able to get the dashboard painted today so that was a good thing. That should have me set up to hit the ground running on Wednesday I hope.I was thinking something like that but with no bottom. You could make it as.close to the door as you want. Of course I have a full sheet metal shop so something that takes me 10 min ain't as easy for other folks.
You could always make a heavy paper templent then hammer fold the aluminum over the edge of a solid work bench. (Or the kitchen counter?)
Yeah that's where I've got a little bit of a jump. The motor and transmission are tried-and-true. Installed and pretty much ready to hook up the shifter. Everything was 11.5 to 11.7 and runnin like a top. I usually just change the oil, pull the distributor, run the oil pump and prime the filter and all. I won't need to turn the motor over or anything, I already know the heads are oiling.
