Re: 72 restore/mild build
Well good news! BCB sent out the gas tank out a lot earlier than expected. Just received it a couple days ago. That said, I've been out in the garage until midnight for the last week trying to make some headway. First a couple pics of the flares and emblems. Got the new Centech harness almost finished up. The dash is almost done, headlights/taillights are done. Just need to finish the alternator/battery connections, windsheild wiper connections and mount the fuse box. Also started mounting the gas tank. Anyone here mount a BCB tank on a 1977 frame? I have a few questions about the mounting brackets.

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Nice work!!! Getting really close.
What questions do you have? Are there differences in a '77 frame compared to others?

Re: 72 restore/mild build
77s didn't use a tank strap, they had a bucket/skid that the gas tank sat in. Looks like I can use at least 2 of the original mounting holes. Just wanted to know if thats a problem.

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Made a lot of progress with the wiring on Sat-Sun. With some much needed assistance from Viperwolf1 I was able to get the the Centech harness and Mustang harness integrated. I ended up using an Explorer power distribution box. Looks kindof like a rats nest right now but should clean up nice with some harness wrap. I forgot about the Inertia switch and I'm out of room on the pass side so I'm now waiting for a used switch and the combo coolant/windsheild washer resevoir from BCB. Will hopefully get those before next weekend. Feels like I'm close, I really want to !

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Just started her up for the first time in 2 1/2 years! What a feeling! Had to run down a few problems, though. Half the relays I picked up for the JY were trash. O2/MAF senser relay and ECC relays were bad. Guess that teaches me a lesson. Timing was a PITA too. Since my balancer is marked on the 2 o-clock side and I have the explorer front dress with the timing marker on the 11 o clock side i had to find TDC the old fashoned way and re-mark the balancer. All said and done - I guess it was a good day. Didn't have to hunt down any electrical gremlims and didn't smoke the computer Now I just have to finish all the little stuff here and there.
