Well, time to resurrect this thread once again. Although I have not posted any updates in quite awhile I have been making good progress! The body is on the rotisserie and wrapped up all of the metal work underneath. I can say the body is 100% done and ready to go. With the body done it was time to tackle the chassis. I wanted to get everything installed to do one last fitment of everything and make sure no issues once final assembly gets underway. With everything installed it was time to do the brake line plumbing. I want to throw some major props to Mark @ Bent Fab and others for sharing their knowledge in this dept. If you are going to do some plumbing and have not read the thread Tubular Tuesday's that Mark started, do so. There is a ton of info in there.

From thought process to completion, I can say it took me a week to get all of this done. I started with aluminum welding rod to make templates. I then bought 5 sticks of just regular brake line and bent those up before moving onto the stainless lines. Best $25.00 I spent.
Enough talk...Here are pics is the finished product. Very pleased with the results. Now onto the fuel system which will be easy in comparison.
