| What
are we gonna do with all these wires? |
|
|
|
| Because
we're going to try to hide all the wires, and because the
frame is a tube chassis, we had to figure a way to get the
wires off the floor and run them through the tube to the
front. This looks a little funky at this time but once
it's painted black and we shrink tube the ends, you'll
never notice it under the car. |
|
|
|
| Getting
the wires up to the gauges can pose a problem on some
bodies. We know you could just run the wires along the
floor but this always ends up being a hassle with the
upholsterer. |
|
|
|
| As
you can see in this picture, we drilled a hole through the
wood support above the door and routed out the pillar post
to make way for the wires. |
|

|
| Here's
a picture of the trunk area where the gas tank will be
installed. |
|
|
|
| Lonnie
had made an aluminum tank with a filler neck inside the
trunk. We decided this wasn't a good idea so a new
stainless tank was ordered from Rock Valley. |
|
|
|
| Here's
the new tank installed and the filler neck and door to the
outside. |
|
|
|
| The
body will be removed several times until we get all the
wiring routed and sorted out. |
|
|
|
| Here's
a great shot of the underside of the tubular chassis. |
|
|
|
| What
a great picture of this hi-tech chassis. As you can see it
has a torque tube and the transmission in the rear. Where
do these guys come up with this stuff? This is before Hot
Rod TV! |
