"Houston, we have liftoff..."

 

Rear/passenger wheel cylinder finally arrived, so we were able to finish off the brakes

We moved onto the fuel pump.  Brass adapters installed.

New fuel lines (re)installed (fuel pump to fuel filter)

This Permatex aviation sealant is, far 'n away, the best sealant for fuel lines

We filled the radiator, in preparation for firing up the engine.

With the car firing up & running, it was a GREAT weekend!

Back from SoCal NCRS event...

 

Installed the new battery tray

Installed the new radiator->overflow tank hose

The heater hose "T" was a bit rusty. Cleaned it up in preparation for the overflow tank install...

This is an extra overflow tank we had.  We'll use this one, instead of the older replacement.

Battery installed.

Disconnecting the solenoid wires...

Unbolting the old starter...

Starter is out.

Old battery tray vs. the new one

The battery tray cover/heat shield is supposed to be semi-gloss black.  Frustrating that they sent it to me in raw metal.  Grrrrr.

I primed it today.  I'll paint it tomorrow and get it installed.  That needs to go in prior to the overflow tank.
