  1. This is timely as I am getting ready to replace my vent doors and reinstall them. Your list and pictures are great - thanks! I was also thinking a tight wire mesh attached to the cowl air intake might help keep some of the debris out of the vents. Tom
  2. I got this pump from Holley https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_pumps_regulators_and_filters/fuel_pumps/efi_fuel_pumps/efi_electric_in-line_pumps/parts/12-920 It does 80gph and is designed for the Sniper EFI.
  3. Good eye. Still working out my wiring. Since I am using a Holley Sniper EFI the fuel pump will be wired into the harness that came with it and the relay Holley included. Right now I am trying to work out how many other relays I will be wiring into the car. So far the list may or may not include: Ignition, Headlights, Wipers, Heater, A/C, Electric Steering and Electric Fans. Building a custom wiring harness is fun...umm not really just a necessary step.
  4. Got my tank and electric fuel pump installed. The pre-filter is shown in the pictures while the post filter is mounted along the frame rail where the stock drain is usually located. I covered the fuel hose and the pump with some heat sheathing since the exhaust is so close. Mounted both the filter and pump on rubber mounts to hopefully reduce the noise.
  5. So I am following in your footsteps with my 63 and putting the same brake booster you used on your 70 (Allstar Performance 8” ALL41006).  What you used to connect the booster to the brake lever?  Did you cut down the rod and attach an eye to attach to the pin?  Thanks. Tom

      I really don’t have an answer…I had a speed shop do all the work.  Essentially I just paid for it.  The most I remember is the shop owner said he talked to brake specialist…gave him the specs on the car and the brake specialist made the recommendations.  He had to modify the booster bracket but beyond that I don’t remember…that was maybe fifteen years ago.  I sold the car a few years back.

      Thanks for the reply and information.  Tom

  6. You may want to look at McMaster-Carr (https://www.mcmaster.com/) I have found many hard to find items from them for my car.
  7. The seats look great and so very period! Your whole interior looks so good!
  8. Here is an option that i am considering for my car. Very lightweight, small size and plenty of power. Downside is cost but if you are replacing batteries this one might save over time. https://shopbraille.com/products/braille-g30-greenlite-lithium-battery Tom
  9. The body is back on the frame. Took 7 guys to lift it and place it on the frame. The only place that caused an issue was the accelerator bracket on the back of the engine as we got too close and scraped the paint - nothing a little touch up can't fix.
  10. Got the engine bay and underneath primed and painted black. Also put undercoating in the wheel wells. Quite the icky job...
  11. This diagram from the parts manual shows the location of the bolts (13) and studs (2). The diagram does not include the two bolts that hold down the radiator saddle.
  12. I am almost ready to put the body back on the frame and am wondering if anyone has any tips from thier experience. Thanks, Tom
  13. Using a wire brush to clean the road dirt, oil and a layer of black paint from underneath the body. I do plan to paint the underneath black and wonder if that was something the factory did? oh and in case you are wondering, yes I am a masochist for doing this job. 😝
  14. I have purchased several things from Bob and he is great.
  15. Quite the modern look. https://www.hotcars.com/1963-studebaker-avanti-restomod-render/
