It's Electric

I am now working at getting all the other systems back in the car in preparation for putting the fiberglass body back on.  First to go back in - the electrical system.  All the under-hood wiring is back in including harness, relays, coil, fuses, etc.  Also back in is the wiper motor and heater fan.  Since a lot of this wiring ultimately connects to the engine there are still a lot of danglies, but she's lookin' good!



At the back of the car, a new hold-down mount for the battery has been fashioned and welded in, and the hold-down assembly cleaned and painted.  A new battery has been purchased, and the main battery lead from the trunk to the hood has been installed.  The main harness to the rear of the car is also back in place including connections to the shifter mechanism and brake pedal.


As you can see, the shift linkage, seatbelt attachment point, and chair rails are all back in place, as are the throttle pedal and linkage, charcoal filter, and bits of the ventilation system.  I've also completed repair, painting, and undercoat of the front wheel "baffles" and metal floorboard trim panels.  The former will go in soon, the latter after the engine is back in and all the systems have been tested and adjusted.

Next up: final prep and paint of the trunk area and fuel system refurbishment and re-installation.
