Engine bay is completed, except for the custom intake tube I have to build. Then wiring the entire car.

Finished out the entire rear brake lines. Had to build a couple aluminum brackets, since the ones on my car were missing. I saved $45 in repro brackets, and ended up with some nice aluminum ones instead :)

For floorpan:

For top of 12-bolt axle:

Used DSE's braided steel flex line kit on top of the axle:

Used the SUR&R lines, and added stone guard spring for the entire rear lines.

Here is my remaining list to do, as of a week ago. Already knocked a few of the items out:

Looking excellent! I love how deceptively simple everything appears in the engine bay.

The list idea is always good, I've done that for years. I discovered it helps me stay focused on the tasks that matter and / or their sequence. For me I prefer to tape a copy to the car so I can cross things off as I complete them or add things as I encounter problems.

I have it taped to my beer fridge, right next to the car. So, if I feel I worked hard, I reward myself with a beer and crossing something out. :)

X2 on the details, really is helpful.

Where did you get those brass 90* fittings for the rear brakes, and the spring wrap?

My bulkhead connectors at that 90 are NPT threaded. So, I used these:

Thanks Tony, much appreciated.

Will the gravel guard install over the flare?

Did you get the convertible top installed? I am trying to decide if I should minitub my 69 convertible.

Thanks
Don
