I finished making the stainless straps for the stainless tank and also started running the fuel line from the filter/regulator to the front of the car.

A while back I had the brake booster rebuilt. It's just bolted in place loosely for now.

I had some time available this past weekend. I got the heim joints for the rear upper air ride shocks a few weeks ago. now they won't bind and split the bushings.




started working on installing the Wilwood proportioning valve. The stainless line are tough to double flare.

last weekend I bent up some cunifer brake line for the front end and measured for hoses. Messed with the hoses today to check for clearance and fit. It's looking good, lock to lock and full retracted and extended suspension.

Now I need to get a rivet nut setting tool so i can fab and attach brackets.


right lock, extended


left lock extended


left lock compressed


right lock compressed

The stainless steel gas tank did not fit flush to the floor pan and the filler neck would not line up with the hole in the rear body panel. The main problem is that there was no notch for the trunk pan reinforcement rib. I cut a notch. That got the holes much closer to being aligned and the tank will now sit flush against the trunk pan. I may need to cut out the filler hole and move it up some too. I've never welded stainless before so this is an adventure. I also never cut up a $600 gas tank before either
