Very nice Alain! It's hard to see in the pics. The hangers...the washers might be flipped.

alain

I do not understand the comment?
Using a Gardner Exhaust system everything is marked left and right?
Alain

mrolds69

Yes Alain, the Gardner hangers have labels for L + R. I'm talking about the washers under the bolts that hold the rubber straps. The outer edge of the washer should be off the rubber, not against it. they might be right now, it's hard to see. I'll look for a pic. Maybe I'm wrong. I think they make the washers different nor.

I do not understand?

Hi all
Here are some photos of the overspray on the bottom of the car.
These W cars were rushed through the assembly process.
Trying to stay as original as possible

Is any of that red overspray from when the front half of the car was repainted?

alain

Hi Jim
No none of the overspray is from the fender replacement.
Did the back half like it was done from the factory

Too bad about the hood damage but Im sure you'll make it good.

What is the "field trip damage "? I can't figure out where and what it is.

You are doing a really nice job on this great car. My friend back around 1972 had a blue one and that little 350 could really get up and go! It gave a Shelby GT 500 a pretty good run for the money, one night, back in the day!

alain

I damaged the hood myself when I took it of the car.
All my fault nobody else to blame
Do I feel stupide YES I know better

Looks good, nice work.
I see the fuel pump to carb line is a little off as far as bend goes. Are they all the same as far as vendors go? Where did you get that one and will you just bend to fit?

alain

Thanks for the good words
The line is from inline tube .There is always some miner adjustment with any of the new lines
No biggy it is part of the game.

Really nice progress, Alain. It sure isn’t easy! You’re moving along quite nicely. Any advice on mounting the tank?

alain

Thanks Jim
Mounting the tank was simple with the car on the lift
Screw tank straps in at the back Slide tank in
One person bolts straps in while the other holds it in place voila tank is in
2 person job

Two Thumbs Up Alain. Bravo.

alain

Hi Dave nice to here from you
Trying my best Thanks for the two thumbs up

Hi Alain, I was looking over your engine pics & I noticed it appears that you have your neg. battery cable bolted to the head, it's supposed to go to front corner of the block. Who did you get your radiator hoses from?? I bought mine from Fusick & I never liked the fit by the rad, it's too short, yours looks to be a little longer at the end than mine. You can see it in my old engine pic from 2013,it's a lot shorter.

alain

Hi Rob
Will verify location of negative cable in the assembly manual
Got the hoses from Fusick they seemed correct.They must have made a new batch?
Thanks for the heads up
Alain

rob1960

Thanks Alain! Guess I'll get another one from Fusick it's only money!

alain

Hi Rob
Money what is that .No money it is all in the W 31
Have a great day
Alain
