Yes, I most likely will have to run a flex pipe somewhere

AN lines for the hydro boost power steering I believe are finished. Had to reorder one PTFE fitting cause I screwed up.

Slowly chipping away the wiring, very tedious. I got the front lights rear lights all wired up. Most of the stuff under the hood is wired up. I still need to mount my 6AL MSD box. And run the wires for it. I decided to remove the gauge cluster and get it wired up. I probably should’ve cut some of the wires a little bit longer, but it turned out fairly good I think.

I really like what you're doing and think your gauge wiring looks great. Nice and tidy. Love the plug and attention to detail you're doing. Sometimes the most tedious jobs are the ones most rewarding. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I’m trying to make things so that in the future when I disassemble everything for paint and body it’s just a matter of unplugging

the high beam and turn indicators came from boese engineering. I ordered the entire set up from them. Very happy with how it turned out

Still working on the wiring. Most of it is done now and thing I’m ready to start taping it all up nice and neat.

i managed to get my factory break and clutch pedal to work with the hydro boost and the t5 trans.

Purchased a red top optimum battery. Just need to figure out where I’m gonna mount it now.

Then i gotta get some fluid in everything and start bleeding brakes and PS and everything thing else

The wiring is a touch messy under the dash. But I think most of it is done. Still need to get a wiper motor switch and then there will be old air products, AC and heat and a radio of some kind to install yet.
But I might try and wrap up these wires and clean it up.

Had a local shop bend some 18 gauge sheet metal into a c-channel, I curved the end and trimmed the steering drop out. Need to drill some mounting holes and weld up the curved ends but I think it turned out pretty good. Will have to come up with a different method of opening the glove box

I knew I had seen an example on here but could remember where. All you did was change the curve of the hinge things.
I seen this on Facebook, a guy used cupboard hinges that kinda pull out towards you a bit.

I made new pieces, the original hinges won't work so I experimented until I got something to work and stops the door in the horizontal position . Did the same thing on my pickup..

Interesting steering wheel. Never seen one like that before.
