Epilogue - While the auction was in process, one item that I had thought wouldn't get finished, got finished. So I installed it.

I was never happy with the Radiator Fill Tank that came from Renegade. It looked hokey to me. Couple that with the overflow tank and the whole left side of the car was a bundle of hoses and junk. Then, when i decided I didn't like venting the PCV to the atmosphere, the thought of adding a third tank - catch can - just pushed me over the edge.

I had a friend build a single console that would mount on the right side of the engine. It would sit on the frame rail, incorporate the 3 tanks I needed into a single console. That would let me hide some of the hoses and clean up the mess.

Here it is installed.



Notice how clean the left side is. It also let me install a prop rod on that side.

Here's a closeup of the tank.




Also during the auction, I blew the high pressure side of the a/c because I didn't wire up the trinary switch. So I wired it in and got it recharged.

In the auction description, you might also have noticed that I had a gauge problem. North Hollywood Speedometer replaced my oil tank level with a volt meter and grounded it wrong - only one gauge would work at a time - either the voltmeter or the fuel level. I sent it back to them, they fixed it and sent it back. I'll install that tomorrow and other than packing it, I think I've done as much as I'm going to do on it.

The new owner is a new friend. Hopefully, he'll enjoy the car and take it to the next level.
