So I left off with the rear bumper. I started working to try to make it fit better, not necessarily to custom flush and mold the bumper to the body, but to just bring them in t the end, and make them line up with the body a little better.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your father-in-law Congratulations on the birth of a new grandson.

The progress on the car looks fantastic and looking forward to more updates

So keeping in line with what has been completed. Made a bracket for the American Autowire Hwy 22 fuse block. Got it mounted in the car close to where the original fuse block went through the firewall.

Then moved on to the clutch resorvoir to finalize the mounting and the routing from under the dash of the Malwood clutch system.

Next up, was making a throttle pedal mount, and getting it mounted in the car. From there, I moved to the PSI ECM wiring going to the firewall plugs. Yes, the wife let me use the kitchen island to lay everything out. She is a jewel, as I am sure everyone's here is as well.

Next comes routing the wiring under the dash. Bought some magnets for band ties that seem to be interesting for the routing. More on that later.

Thanks for looking.

I used the magnet on my Camaro and once all the wiring was complete I put a little panel bound in the center of the magnet ring to make them permanent.

Had not thought of that, but will look into it. Seems like a good way to finalize the process.

Great progress Bill. Sorry to read about your troubles sir. It seems like this has been a common theme for many lately. Keep after it, you’ll be driving it before you know it.

Yeah, I'm looking at the same wiring plug setup on mine, fortunately I won't be in a rush. I also have a big kitchen table lol.
