I've been at this project for two years and it was running.I thought I was near tring to start when I discovered that the mech tach drive cable is all kinked just behind the dash against the vacum storage tankThe tank needs to be moved or modified .No place to mive will modifiy.Oh the oil pressure hose is hard against the steering colum support need a 45° elbow 1/8" npt to a small size of A&N.The dash is hanging off the steering colum again.I will do little on the car until this is resolved and the dash and steering is back in place.The windshield is leaned back more than usual.I bought one of those tensioners to keep the top bow from being pulled off the glass by the top( I don't have a top installed yet)Had to remove the windsheild to install that with the center bracket to dash.It all takes time and resources to get it all together.It is like building a ship in a bottle.The vacum storage tank I have is a polished aluminum cylinder sold by Summit.I've deceided to cut the side off and turn the peice around making it concave it that area, and have it rewelded.It will probably take most of the week to resolve.If I only knew what I know now I'd bought a TIG machine when I started.I'd buy a finished car again. I cant finish a running car a bunch of boxesand all the descissions would swamp me.
