Icehouse Posted May 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Well somehow I want to drive it to Canby..... Maybe. Either way I'm going for it. I haven't worked on it as much as I'd like to. Here are some updates of rust repair and IC/Rad fitment. Added some weld nuts for the IC Got everything mocked up. Still adjusting in this picture though. Think I might pain the IC black on this build. Hide it a little better. Had to move the rad inlet, hopefully it will work there. I check on Franks car but who knows. Making the pipe a size I can get couplers for... Stupid pipe and tube being differently measured. Ground clamp broke mid project, this seemed to work rather well actually :) Frank washed my motor for me. Before: After: 8 Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 How close is that to original paint. I really like that color. The coupe was originally the super pale yellow, almost a white. Basically the color the engine bay was minus the rust and grease. The color I sprayed the engine bay is butter scotch. It was the color of my first 510 and one of my favorites. So I decided to go with it. Lets see if I can dig up a photo of my first 510. 5 Quote Link to comment

Icehouse Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Need a fuel tank for the endure car. I figured I could pull the coupe tank and use it. Since I had a tank Rich modified for it waiting to go in. Well turn out the coupe tank is junk. But it was good getting it ready for the new tank anyway. I gotta get this car going. Sick of seeing it sit in my garage anyways. So I pulled the tank, wire brushed all the rust and banged the tire well somewhat straight. Some idiot picked it up with a forklift!!! Dented the spare tire well really bad. Not sure how visible it will be in the photo. HHHMM someone did some welding at some time in the past. Kinda scared to dig into that area later. other side.... Found this under the tank mmmmhhhh candy!!! Must be newish. Still squishy. Gas door has part number on it too. Bam new! 5 Quote Link to comment
