429CJ, 4 Speed, 3.25 Traction Lock N case, A/C, P/W, tilt, fold down seats, int. wipers, deluxe interior.
I’m bummed! My nice camera (Sony A6000) just stopped working with error messages. I had a little bit of footage and I may add it to some taken on my phone until I get things sorted.
so here’s an update:
-installed gas tank
-installed new brake lines on diff and up to distribution block.
Bled brakes and yes they’re woking!
-routing engine bay harness and routed power window harness, hooked up to main Starter solenoid/junction block.
-hooked up a battery and tested a few things, wipers, gauge lights, radio, and cig lighter Work!
prepping up my urethane bumper for paint (using 3M semi rigid plastic repair)
up next?!
-going back paint shop for blackout and hood paint.
-engine should be back from machine shop in a couple weeks (estimated 500 hp and 500lbft TQ) it’s been bored and stroked to about a 470 now with all sorts of internal goodies. I’ll post build sheet.
continue on assembly! Carpet, belts, weatherstrip,
get slip yoke, driveshaft, and exhaust.
So so much to do but things are going well!
