Builds Rockcod’s final ride, Morty the Forty (1 Viewer)

Back from Bonneville and back in the garage. Painted and reinstalled the battery mount, wired the relay/fuse panel inside the glove box, wired the alternator and mounted the under hood power distribution box. I still need to measure for positive and negative battery cables and install my fuel delivery system, I am so close to firing this thing up!

Had a couple of hours this morning to work in the garage, pulled out the fuel delivery parts and laid them out only to find out I’m missing a couple of an6 fittings to make it all work. The only real progress I made was mounting the pressure regulator . Dead in the water until Monday.

Spent some time in the garage today, got the battery mounted. Bolted a mounting plate to the factory holes in the firewall where the fan used to mount and welded the battery mount to it. The battery is mounted very solid and not going anywhere. Now I can figure out where my auxiliary relay/fuse box will mount and plan my next move for the wiring.

Hi! To clarify, that battery mount is totally custom? Or it’s something you bought off the shelf? I yanked my heat recently and would love to move my battery to the firewall.

The battery box itself is from Ruff Stuff, I welded a plate to the box and mounted it to the factory heater holes.

Which of these tank connections can I use for my return line?

Started running lines to fuel rail and regulator and for various reasons I quickly found out the original placement of the regulator was not going to work. So, I relocated it to the driver side of the firewall.
Mounted the 100 micron filter and connected it to a bulkhead fitting to get it through the body. I ran out of 90* and 45* so o am finished for today.

Finished the fuel lines this morning, I ran the lines inside the frame and as high up as possible to protect them from trail damage and heat from the exhaust. Now to flush the lines, re-tighten all connections, fill the engine with oil and fire this thing to life!
