Plumbing the car.....one of my favorites especially the doing a double flare under the car part

Your're doing some great work. As far as wheel color if you only want to do it once, shoot them whatever the final body color will be. For now there is also always basic black.

That makes perfect sense, Mike. No need to paint them twice.

I had the day off so I got everything on the brakes plumbed except the front calipers. Brake pedal is hooked up, clutch is hooked up, accelerator pedal is in, dash is bolted down and starter is in. Run fuel lines and start on some wiring tomorrow and Sunday.

I got the wiring harness run from the trunk to the fusebox location and started on a seat. I had this seat left over and am going to go ahead and use it even though a split seat in a fourdoor may be kind of weird. It's comfy, not torn up, and free. I'll clean it up once the base is done and am ready to mount it permanant. The base came from the rear seat in a late model Chevy extended cab and I narrowed it 4 inches. I also cleaned up the steering wheel, fixed the cracks, and painted it.

Should work just fine, Falcon--nothing wrong with the seat, especially at that price!!!!

Falcon I see you came to the dark side with the V8 drive line , it will be much more fun cruising down the road .

Yeah, gotta be able to do a smoky burnout once in a while.

Lots of tedious stuff done this weekend. I had made a wiring harness for the 49 from a Buick G-body and it worked good so I decied to transfer it to here. I laid it out and made some changes before the transplant such as fixing and using the factory turn signals and some lengthening and shortening here and there. I got it all zip tied up, installed, and most everything hooked up.The dash is almost done; I do have a factory radio thats going to fill the hole, too. I might even get it fixed; I always listen to AM anyway. Either that or stash a unit in the glovebox. A few other things, too; pulleys are on, heat gauge hooked up, and started changing the forward harness for the Mopar connections.

Going to be a sleeper I see it coming already .

The whole project is coming together quite nicely Falcon!!! Sure is gonna be fun to sneak up on 'em with a MorDoor!!!!

Lots done today; I finally got the fuel line run and the fuel pump on. Now just need to run from the pump to the carb and that's done. I wanted to use a GM alternator since the harness was already wired for it so I flipped the alternator bracket upside down and put it on the othe side of the water pump. I had to cut and lengthen the adjuster bracket and build a support bracket for the back but it worked out good. I started putting the front clip back on just to see what I was going to need to do with the inner fenders. Both had to get sliced and diced a bit but I've got some new pieces tacked in place so I can pull it back apart, finish welding and paint them before it goes together for good.

And a few more...

Fabrication the art of making things that don't belong"BELONG"

Very cool project you have going on, and you are doing very nice work on it!!! Keep at it!
