Fabulous day today. Got the bulk of the remote water pump fittings mounted. All that is left now is to resolve the heater issue and string the hose. I think the pump mount was pretty cool, drilled a hole in the frame and fed the -12AN swivel fitting through the frame. This way if the wheels somehow get up and we bounce hard, the water pump will have a backup brace to hold it and keep the unit out of the belts and hoses.
Bruce began the remote battery mounting. He has studied it for a while and decided to mount a Ford solenoid in the back instead of using the OEM solenoid with the starter. This will keep the wire to the starter from being hot all the time. It will only be hot when the ignitioin switch is turned on to start the car. He's going with breakers instead of fuses and got the rear grounding hooked up.
