Yates's Cadillac adventures

[yates ™]

I am keeping my eye out for a decently pricing 6.0 or 6.2 but I already have a 5.3 so probably end up with that.

Bracket looks BAMF, just took it back to sand blast so there is hope to get it back today.

Not a great picture but the bracket I designed. Won't be able to mock fit until tomorrow

 

[YukonXL04]

You call that designing? Lol jk

 

[THE YETI]

That part comes in some of the classic erector sets from the 80s

 

[yates ™]

Bitches please.

Not much to show but have all the old air management and rear seat out so ready to start wiring up the new system. I was hoping to have it completed next weekend but hit a deer in the GFs Impala so probably have to deal with that this week.

Not sure why these pics turned out so ****** but I will retake them later on.

Bracket with rubber isolators to help quiet down compressor vibration.

And everything mocked up on the bracket.

I like hanging out and doing car stuff.

 

[THE YETI]

Yeah.. About that hanging out thing. Need to keep a leash on that puppy.

So no pic updates but finally got the wiring ran to the battery and the wires for the upcoming head unit install. Next step is to enlarge existing holes for bulkhead fittings through the trunk floor, wiring up the solenoid for the tank drain, start mounting parts, and figure out sensors. Was really hoping to be done with this by this weekend but so much had came up to keep me away plus the GF and kiddo have been sick. I just want to drive it before it snows...

 

[THE YETI]

You gonna do amp steps?

 

[yates ™]

You gonna do amp steps?

Would like to, but not on the caddy.

 

[THE YETI]

[jerryjoe28]

Finally had some time to work on the car tonight and an extra set of hands I needed. Had to redesign the bracket since trying to bend 3/8 airline 180° was the dumbest idea ever, the powdercoater forgot to do the piece today so can't get everything bolted down... Anyways tank is bolted down, isolators are bolted through the floor, bulkheads bolted, and drain valve put into place. Going to try to get airlines ran tomorrow, luckily only the rear bags need new lines ran, write up the drain valve, and mount the relays. Hopefully Monday the mount will get powdered and the I can bolt it down as well as compressors and valve block bolted down then run the final lines.
