deceptive gt Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 So, I went to work on the wiring harnesses for the radio and the gauges. The radio headunit is done. The gauges, not so much. The pins for the connectors kept distorting upon crimping so I need to go back to research on connectors. I did have a good time working, watching the NMRA, and enjoying some drink.I got my J2Fab 270A alternator so I should have no power issues.And I also got my custom overlays for the PSV-1 and ECF-1 to match my Simco Gauges.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deceptive gt Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Got some work done. I removed the 12V in the center console and replaced it with a dual USB port. This will plug into the DMX906S, one is for the Apple CarPlay. I worked on prepping the rear axle housing. Plan is to get it cleaned, prepped, and coated/painted. I also worked on the gas tank. I got the Evap Lines cleaned and removed the two clips to remove the rust, prime, and paint. Last thing I did was get the FORE fuel hat and pumps installed into the Glenn’s Performance Baffled Tank. I am probably going to make a change to one of the pieces of the build. I will decide this week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to be putting this back together in 3-4 weeks.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
