Finally finalizing oil lines:
The last owner planned on running the oil lines through the trunk, but I've decided not to do that. One of the challenges that I created for myself was deciding to keep the battery boxes. Since the hard lines are Elephant racing units, I went back to them to supply the front flex lines using their existing off the shelf lines made for this purpose.
Once this is finalized we will weld up the existing holes in the trunk as they will no longer be needed.
The biggest challenge adding the front cooler behind the 73 RSR front bumper is the lack of space. It is pretty tight. I needed shorter threaded adapters for the cooler and, a line that would fit between the bumper and the cooler. When I called Elephant racing they assured me that while tight, the angles would fit perfectly, and they did.
Once this gets sorted, the bumper will get its final paint job. It got a first splash of paint so we could the before the car went in. Once I am sure that we won't have to cut into it, the final coat will be applied to the bumper. Looks like the angled line will mean that I will not have to modify the fiberglass. Phew. One less job to do.
In summary, to get the clearance I had to move my cooler over as far as I could to the driver's side (1/2") and use the shorter cooler threaded adapters (you can see them on the cooler in the first picture), and the lines with angled ends also supplied by Elephant Racing.
