Last Sunday I had my friend RJ come over and he helped run the brake lines for me. He had a nice Snap-On flaring tool which made for a real clean install. I am using a hydraulic clutch so I used the existing hole for the clutch cable to run the lines out and down the frame. Turned out pretty nice, if I were to do it again I would of used fittings to go threw the firewall for a even cleaner install but it turned out great.
Had some issues with the rear brakes, I get to drain my rear end pull ...

I took a small break from the car to pool up some money for things that would be needed. My 347 stroker is being built here locally and that’s going as we speak. I have a guy coming over Sunday to help run the brake lines and hook everything up, I decided to have a professional come over and help with that part just for peace of mind.
So today I decided to rip apart my pedal box assembly and paint the brackets that came from FFR, I am very glad I decided to do that because they had been on ...

I am drilling away on my panels. I am down to just the trunk area. Next I am planning my attack on running brake lines and fuel lines.
I ordered a 3 cylinder cnc reservoir setup from Fortes and am still debating upgrading the stock gas tank to a Boyds tank. My tank has some fitment issues.
Best of luck to all the other builders out there, I hope to have some good photos coming soon!

I am almost done drilling all the holes in my panels, the amount of holes needed to be drilled isnt that bad at all. I actually am finding this to be very relaxing, kind of takes your mind of things and is pretty simple.
I am running into a issue with the back panel for the cockpit, the tops are not lining up very well and if I push them together it seems to cause the top of the back panel to flex slightly into a S shape in some spots. Anyone have suggestions on wether to rivet them in place ...

Just realized I have been putting off updating my blog for a while!
My father and I have come a long ways on the build at least I think we have!
The rear end is installed. A good friend was super awesome enough to paint it in his paint booth for me.

This bolt not lining up was very frustrating, helpful hint make sure everything is lined up and check your height.
