Here are a few shots of my progress today while working on the engine compartment. The heater hoses and valve are routed, the fuel line is in place (using an OEM Ford bracket for the '65 Mustang - just with a few tweaks to it), and everything is starting to come together for first start.
One of the other things I did today was to fill and bleed the brake system - so far, only one major leak (from the chassis to the flex line that jumps to the rear end) and some seepage at one of the adapter fittings on the master. Both seem to be under control, but I'm going to let everything sit for a few days and then bleed it again and check all the fittings again.
Just a few things to button up before I turn my attention to wiring. I'm thinking about just doing enough to get me to First Start, then tackle the rest of the wiring.
