Well, I pretty much had a melt down last night and rage quit. All good now. I came to the realization that I'm too methodical and move at a snails pace to just throw my car together so I can have it ready for LS Fest next month. Moreover, I'd want to drive it. With that said... I'll continue to work like hell on it but just accept the fact it will be drivable next spring. I still think I can get the car to fire off and put around a bit by fall to work out kinks.... but I just need to be real with my work speed. I'm not fast and I will not work until 3-4am every night killing myself to get this going.
I am very happy with the fuel lines, trans lines, brackets/mounts and other things completed over the last HOT two weeks.
As for last night, I started to tidy up the lines with zip ties and magnets. I'll get the magnets replaced with something else eventually. The magnets are NOT weak. They can hold 15lbs.
For the tank, I added a filter to the tank's breather so I don't get dirt in the tank. I was going to cap the little vent next to it but JCHammond told me that goes to the filler neck. Then it dawned upon me that the vent is used to create pressure while filling the tank during fill ups so that the handle will automatically shut off because of the venturi effect... SO that is getting hooked back up.
Food for thought, if anyone is going to run a rear mount cooler then you will need 20' (which I bought). It's the perfect amount.
Last thought... Get some flush cut clippers if you cut zip ties. They are 2 dollars and make it so you don't cut yourself wide open on zipties.
