Here are some pics of the 69 Im working on. I've installed the glass, got the engine running, and finished the wiring and the dash. I still have to install plug wires . Note the ones in the pic are tied back so I could adjust the lifters. Alot of small details to finish and also the interior. Need to install the tailpipe extensions and paint the headlight bezels among other things. I'll post more in a few months when Im done. Winter will be here soon and my garage time will be limited.

Hey Kevin, does that upper cooling hose come off of the radiator and arch upwards as if to clear a fan, or does it come out, run parallel the top of the radiator, and then angle back to the motor? I use electric fans and need a new one the doesn't arch.

It looks really nice under there! I have looked at mine so much that I miss stuff, so I occasionally ask others what looks like it needs attention. Since I don't know you, and you don't know me, hopefully you will take this as a constructive comment: I would route the temp gauge wire more squared and parallel to the valve cover. That's it!

You're right on both accounts. I had an 18" fan on the car and it was too large for the shroud and also the hose wouldnt clear. I now have a 17" fan and the shroud is in place but still more to be done.The temp wire is also out of the way for the same reason the plug wires were tied back. Just some of the details that need taken care of. I actually have a list in the garage that consumes one whole peice of paper yet, top to bottom.
As far as how I take your comments, They are well received. That is the great thing about this site, there is always someone to give advice. Thanks for noticing.
