Back in the garage today to get some work done. First thing I did was finishing bending and installing the new transmission lines. One of the lines was not long enough so I had to couple it with a 6" piece to made it reach. Both Kragen (O-Reileys) and Napa only carried 60" line on 5/16". The top transmission line needs to be 66" long. So I did the coupling at the front by the cooler so it gives me a perfect place to splice in the hoses for a future aux transcooler. Just need to remove the 6" piece and install to hose barb ends when the time comes.
With the transmission lines back on place, I went ahead and reinstalled the radiator. Finally that radiator wont be in the way in the garage anymore. Also along those lines, I reinstalled the hood on the car to get it up off the floor and out of the way. With a fender and trunk lid already off the car, something had to go back on. Since the hood is already in primer, it was time for it to go back on the car for now.
Also here is a pic of the trunk lid stripped down. Still working on stripping the bottom side.
