I'm still chipping away at it. I got the steering column rebuilt, the engine plumbing finished, the Ridetech steering brace installed, the engine wiring harness completed and the dash harness roughed in. I'm using an AAW Highway 15 kit for the wiring. When I get back from SEMA, I'm going put the column back in it and then fire the engine, check vitals and do a rough tune. Then, I will tidy up the dash harness and wire the rear lights.

I just completed lots of little odds and ends under the hood. Not a trace of Pro Touring in here... just old school hot rodding. Here is the finished engine bay.

I like that steering box reinforcement! Keep up the good work, this car is coming along great!

Coming along nicely, Neil. Your brake line looks awfully close to the headers in a couple pictures. Is it? Keep up the good work!

Thanks! The brake line isn't as close as it looks in the pics. The power steering fluid is getting hotter than I'd like though.
