what type/style clamp did you use on the coolant lines? They are very clean and much better looking than a traditional worm gear type clamp. Gates Thermoplastic?? Thanks!
Give us a review on this clamp that supposedly is set with a heat gun.

Yep!!.......The Gates shrink clamps.........they really clean up the hose assy..........slip them on and heat up with a heat gun.......and forget about them........Pretty neat.....there is a special tool for removing them......It cuts thru the clamp without touching the hose itself........

Got all the sheet metal installed and finish bolted in......Got the front Bumper back on and I also got the ECM and Trans Modules installed......Forward Lamp harness is next along the getting the Intercooler pump wired.......Now......I just need to find my Horns......they are here somewhere.......Dammmm!!!

Coming along very nicely! Bet you can't wait to drive it!

leave the red plastic LSA cover off...looks much better without it!

It's probably gonna get painted Black with silver letters.........

Beautiful car and an awesome job.

First off......I would like to thank the person who brought my horns back and put them in the garage on the table in plain view........Thanks........
Now.....I got that mess of wires all cleared up in the front of the car.......I hooked up a temporary power feed and checked out the lights.........They actually worked......LOL........I bought an American Autowire Classic update wiring kit and they have anticipated any combination of options and or Gauge/Engine options......I was intimidated by the amount of wires and circuits in the beginning.....but......after looking at what I really needed to hook up....I started removing wires from the bulkhead .......Example.......with the Speartech LS harness, most everything is taken care of in that harness.....blending it into the system is as simple as a fuel pump lead a couple of grounds and keyed ignition power and Battery........That's about it......The Auto engine harness had a bunch of wires in it.....I ended up using 4 wires.....one for the Solenoid and three for the windshield wiper/ Pump assy.......The forward lamp harness was about as simple....about the only major thing I have left to do is tackle the inside.......That's next.....Hopefully the wheels and tires will show up soon also.......

Dude , your craftsmanship and skill are amazing and inspiring ! Can't wait to see the end result and video of this classic beast in action.

You are my hero! This makes wanting to put a 5.3 into my 72 Chevelle look like child's play. I'm jealous.

I got the inlet air tube assy fabricated and fitted to the car .....Just need to weld it up and make the mounting plate for the mass airflow sensor.........Now it time to get started on the inside wiring...........
