Metalmad Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 Thank you Carl ...... I still need to make some adjustment on how the coolant hose is actually routed which I'll do when I get the other coolant hose ran from the water pump to the heater core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Small update which I have finished scratch building the two heater hoses that run from the heater core to the intake manifold and to the water pump and I also have lowered the front suspension a little to give it a better stance in the front. I will more than likely be lowering the rear suspension but how low I'm not sure yet and have also started the clean up of the exhaust system with getting it nice and smooth and I have shot the exhaust with primer.

drifterdon Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Awesome job so far Seth. The '69 Chevelle is my favorite Bow Tie car. Love the subtle weathering you are doing to make your paint pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalmad Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Thank you Andrew & Mike ! Andrew to make the heater core hoses I used bead wire and heat shrink tubing then I shaped the bead wire to the configuration I wanted then I ran the heat shrink tubing over the bead wire then heat shrank the heat shrink over the bead wire.

A very effective technique, I'll have to give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
