Great updates and that is the steering wheel that I want for my car.

My DSE bling for this week

Did the "Stielow" (LT5) plate mechanism. It's from a '90's Caprice. Basically it allows the plate to flip down and stay down while refueling.

Thanks! I was actually looking for a montecarlo and liked the feel of this one.

Spent Sunday morning on my back Routing the (Hot Rod Fuel Hose) fuel line, looking at it.. adjusting, looking, adjusting, repeat, etc. Once I had the layout, I put the ends on and hung it in place. Finally got the fittings to finish up the brake lines.

Today after work (from home) I mocked up the ac compressor and alternator. Liking the blacked out look. Then got to work and knocked out the power steering high pressure hose (Earls) and buttoned up a few hold downs for the brake lines.

After doing PTFE and then high pressure AN lines.. my hands are very sore

All in all, I feel I've made good use of my "quarantine" time so far

The current Nova Vintage Air kit calls for the mounting plate to be bolted on the outside of the firewall... which if it covered all the sins would be good.. but not the case on this car. Plus, I'd rather use the DSE cover I already have. Solution, move the mount plate inside

Still tinkering with the shifter hump. Really waiting on my welder (electrical) connection to be finished to move forward with this and a few other small projects.

Spent the day cleaning up the A/C mount plate and permanently making it part of the car. The firewall side will get some work later when I weld the cover plate on. Hung the A/C unit and drilled the final mounting holes. Closed out the day laying down sound deadener.
