Looking good, hang in there you got this. Check, check and recheck, turn on the key, check things. Turn on the headlights check things, bump the key check things. Crank the jack back in to get the washer reservoir tank on.

Not to question your skills at all, but roll it outside, and have some fire extinguishers handy for the first fire-up of a fresh build, and don't leave it idling unattended.
I remember someone here had a fire very soon after completing a restoration, and that's when an incident like that sucks the most.

You're right about making the photos initially. It looks like things are coming together. If you get stuck on something check with the forum. Best wishes and "good luck".

A little piece of humble advice, test as you go. It is much easier to diagnose and fix one change at a time than to get to the end and find something doesn't work and then need to sort through all your changes to find the one thing that isn't working.
