Mike had a question about the actuator I installed- please see the pic of the bracket i used. Added a triangle piece later to stiffen it up. Attachments:

Spent the last 25 years trying to make a difference in the lives of our fellow citizens. From organ transplants to healthcare insurance for seniors, to helping make low income health care work, continue to work in multiple states.But never lost my need to get dirty and work on cars- need a garage fix but moving to Florida and no time to work on the GT II in MO.

Wonder if they have Bradley's in heaven, and if we'd get into trouble swearing at them as we try to keep them working? Glad the end did not happen as I have way to much to do on mine,and to do in my life before being snatched up to live in clouds.

Some like Bradley resto to original, some something unique all have a place here. Keep going and build what you like.

Very nice would have made that job way easier, and not to mention you pick up some additional width.

Yes I like to see the pic would have made the install easier, ( will keep it for future reference). The pic shows the taper up to the front on the drop of the pans after welding them in. Attachments:

The lift Brian shared with the board was a lifesaver for me in my very small garage. could work on the car underneath with the body still inside- very nice, one person operation and many thanks again. Cleaned off all of the old sound deadener, wire brushed the tunnel, painted and welded in a new frame rails to beef up the chassis. Next I dropped the pans 3 inches and welded them in. Will be modifying the stock GT II seats to fit by removing the outer lip before redoing the upholstery and installing. Attachments:

after spending time looking at your work decided to do the same instillation. used a bronze bushing for a spacer and welded an additional support piece onto the bracket, in the back after testing. Thank you!

After the body went up, I spent more hours than I want to count wire brushing everything to clean metal and painting. The PO sprayed everything with rubberized undercoating- the rust was covered up- but still there. Better to start with a good foundation and then move ahead for me. Trying to keep it simple and remember parts left off don't break. Attachments:

There are plenty of replacement brake line kits available with correct fittings, precut lengths and flairs that will work nicely. From Wolfsberg West to JC Whitney and many other places

While the body was up I also installed a linear actuator- thanks for the tip guys. The pop up lights should work very nicely Attachments:

Replaced all brake lines, new steel fuel line to engine, bigger master cylinder with Volvo reservoir, electric fuel pump with pressure regulator, and tie rod ends. New shocks around and cleaned and restored the pedal assembly. The sending unit was purchased from egages- thank you to everyone who are posting their ideas and work - it has made all my project GT II much better. Attachments:

Regulator is internal you are correct- just left it on prior to taking the pic- it will not be left on and yes the body will drop over the tank. It's sitting on the chassis now.

Thanks for your good thoughts- my chassis is nearly ready for the body to come back down Attachments:

Have not posted in a while- too much travel for me but making progress with the car. Please review the pics and give me some feedback. Getting the chassis right is a priority, prior to dropping the body back down on it. Attachments:

How about running an intake to the outside of the car for cool air to be used by the engine fan?

Working on the chassis and engine right now. On my GT II I've dropped the pans 3 inches and will remove the outside lip on the seats for the fit needed. Welded in new support rails. Not home enough to move very fast on the car! Attachments:

it looks like the long steering tie rod is bent- might be a good time to replace it with a straight one prior to drooping the body back down.

Skip this is awesome work do you always use torn roughly 4 by 8 inch fiberglass to do the work? What about larger pieces of f-glass for big areas?
Best....
