Thanks! Lots of coil relocation kits out there, haven't heard of any issues with the longer wires. Even heard of guys running the wires through the firewall with the coil pack inside under the dash.
I guess I'll find out.

Thanks Gordon! I was not so much trying to make the motor look like an Olds motor as I thought it more of a subtle tribute. Not going to put the rocket decal on it.
Hope you and your family have a Happy Holiday Season!
That goes for everyone here!

Finished welding up the seat mounts and installed a set of Julianos three-point seat belts. Worked out a lot better than I thought. Having a "B" pillar helps......
I'll wait to install the rear belts until I figure out what the rear seat will be.

Hung the fenders and modified the a-arm openings to fit better with the new front chassis parts. Also made a change to the coil pack location and wire routing. I think this looks pretty cool. Kinda breaks up the big smooth firewall a bit.
Still need to find the right wire holders.

Been a while since last update, but I've been busy with a lot of little stuff. Built a console and welded in mounting tabs, got the shifter cable working, spent a bunch of time on the motorized door in the dash (almost done....), finally installed the front sway bar, installed the Holley accessory drive kit as well.
I also got the Old Air Products AC system mocked up, I just need to cut the giant holes in the dash for the vents
I will be taking the car to the body shop either next Sunday or the weekend after that. It's really up to me button up the last few mods. He's waiting for me so I have to get busy.
Pretty stoked to get to this step. Supposedly he will finish in 4-5 months. He does seem to move along pretty good on the projects I've seen at his shop.

Ran the lines to the under dash brake unit. Holy cow, that was a lot of bends! I just need to make a cover to with some grommets.
Came out pretty good though. All of the lines are done but one section of fuel line that I will finish during final assembly (I plan to get some billet fuel rails so I'll wait for those).

Am using Old Air Products Hurricane AC system and got everything mocked up but really didn't like the chrome vents sitting on top of the curved dash surface so I recessed them. This was way more work than I thought it was going to be, but they came out great!
They're all metal too.
Made from a piece of exhaust pipe.
I'll be using a dual center vent in the upper part of the console.

Looks like the car is going to the body shop next weekend! I have a few odds and ends to finish up this week, but it's pretty much ready now.
Can't wait to be sending update pictures of the bodywork being done!
