Golden Goddess heart surgery

Pretty productive weekend. Getting all the accessories bolted and lined up was a big pia, and it’s hard to hold your bolt and nuts when sweating more the whore in church

Looks great and you’re over the hump and on the downhill side. Progress is progress and you’ll be starting it pretty soon. Keep smiling and putting parts together.

Maybe I misunderstood....did the alternator brackets I sent work out for you?

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Maybe I misunderstood....did the alternator brackets I sent work out for you?

yes, once I figured out how they went. Thank you!

This is the correct one, and I was trying to use the threads in the head thinking that’s what they were for. It never crossed my mind it went to motor mount, until I did some research. It all fell together after that

The z bar is in, what a pain, but not as much as I thought

 

[Black_Sheep]

It’s all the little stuff that sucks up so much time…

Forbidden kool aid storage tank is in, and belts are on

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Put the carb on, hooked up the linkage. Hooked up electrical. Finished installing the forbidden kool aide storage, which I still need 1 hose clamp. Waiting on my wire crimper to make my plug wires. Still needs plugs. Oil pressure gauge needs hooked up, probably some small things I’m forgetting. But that’s all for tonight

Try some of this...

You'll get more stuff done.
You may screw up some of it but you'll get a LOT of stuff done.

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Thanks, but Some of us aren’t retired and still have to go to work

 

[Kern Dog]

Yeah, I get that. I used to work and drive the long way home and sometimes get stuff done on the house or the cars.
I have notebooks going back to the mid 90s....In the early 2000s, I wrote that I'd work all day then go to a buddy's place to work on his POS house for 2-3 hours. I look back at that now and wish I still had that level of drive and motivation. I have the energy and ability, I just don't care enough to do stuff sometimes.

Get it ready to light, have all fluids in etc, check adjustments plus make sure the battery is fully charged. Walk away for the day, come back fresh, recheck then light it off. BTW, get the car outside too just in case.

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

It’s under a carport, so plenty of air, but it’s Texas so it’s all hot air

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Alright, who didn’t put the heater hose port on while everything was off and out of the way ?

 

[Black_Sheep]

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Started working on the wires, I shouldn’t have gotten all straight ends, but I think it’ll be fine, this was the best way I found to run the wires, out of the way, and easy trace

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

I’ve spent the day knocking out a bunch of little things and cleaning up. We should have lift off tomorrow, and we’ll find out if all this work was worth it

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Why hello there fenders

 

[64fury74charger]

You’re going to be blasting down the street sooner than you think. Looking forward to hearing about your shake down run very soon.

 

[Kern Dog]

You have excellent lighting there.
