Putting things back together.....

New Screens....









New screens for new larger scoop cutouts.



And a new way to attach the end of the screen without needing a new stud fiberglassed in.



Reassembling the front compartment





New dual battery tray



New mirror material under the scoop on the hood.



Hard to see (forgot to take a pic of this before putting hood back on. This is the area between the scoops on the hood. Mirror finish with new screen over it. You'll never see this with the hood on but we know it's there. LOL



And final assembly on the sill plates & remounting the rockers.





Next, we put the engine back in for the last time.

Have you replaced your radiator ?
From the pics it looks like your radiator is black which makes me think it might be the factory one.
You should have a nice 3 core aluminum radiator on that beautifull ride

looking forward to updates

More progress......

We have put in the engine for the last time.

Before we put it in we got a few pics.







You can't put the engine in with the SC on it, so we removed it & installed the engine.









The width of the SC make it so that it is only about 2" from the rear window.



So to make enough room to bolt the SC down & install the injectors, fuel rails, the coil packs & connect the Boost gage, we have to rotate or lower the back of the cradle down to make more room.





Here it is rotated back up in position. You can see that there is a lot less room in this pic. as campared to the pic above.



Continuing to hook things up & reroute all of the wires.





Space is tight but we think we've found a place for everything to mount.
