  Cut the cooland fiiting off the side of the head and moved to back of head and welded new fitting on , so it would clear the hood. much better fit and clearance  here's the old position of coolant fitting before moving |

Also Thanks to Bill (racingelvis) for hood and many other items over the years.
He didnt paint this hood .
but he did paint the 73 magnum hood and pan , and the workmanship is top notch
If he wasnt so far away we would have had him paint this hood and pan as well.

wiring coming along . circuit board cleaned up  wiring done , also cleaned other braided rubber coolant lines up and made look like new ( they were ugly as all hell ) cleaned and burned fuzzy stuff off . coated ends with super glue to stop them from freying and then painted with hammer black paint , layed it on heavy ,soaks in like crazy and gives a nice color to it .  made new clutch guard mounts and the other coolant hose that i redid .*** ( you can also see the steel motor mout that holds the rubber mount is cut off and moved to the left and and rewelded back on frame . because motor needs to be moved over so far , this also keeps the holes in aluminum motor plate the same so theres no additional holes added to it ) just better fit & finish   new recoil rope guide out of aluminum  |
