Thanks Wayne. I ran the hard line up to the firewall and will be using AN hose from there to the passenger side fuel rail.

Another quick update.

I got the fuel tank bolted up. Now I can measure the AN lines from the previous shots of the hard lines. Once that is done the fuel circuit is ready to go.



Finished up the 3/16 tubing for the brake lines to the rear. I have a tee fitting that I will be welding to the rear axle. Once I have that bolted up I will be able to measure the flex line from the tubing to the axle housing.



I had a couple of pinch points on the 3/16 that I didn't like around the front trailing arm brackets. I found some 3/16 ID Neoprene hose with an OD of 3/8 and slid that around the problem areas. I then finished it off with Techflex's fabric heat shrink. Overall this should eliminate the metal to metal contact.



I know you guys have heard me mention that I am hiding all of the wires. This is the distribution point on the firewall. I have tested it and I can reach the circuit breakers with the Hood and fender on. These shouldn't trip unless there are major issues anyway. It's hard to tell but MP circuit breakers have an option to add a clear acrylic backer with a red LED lamp. If one of the circuit breaker's trips I will visibly be able to see the LED without standing on my head.

The 80 Amp circuit breaker will feed a Bussman RTMR for my fan/head light relay center. The 100 amp feeds the kickpanel fuse box you have seen in previous photos.



I also got around to tacking in the weld nuts on the cabin side of the firewall. This will allow me to weld the area and bolt holes smooth where the factory fuse panel used to reside.



Thats it. Hoping for some time off soon where I can make more headway...

Looks great !! Can I ask a question here for lack of knowledge on my part ? The 100 amp MP circuit breaker goes to the battery in trunk ?? Also, couldn't one use a fusible link in place of the 100 amp breaker ?? Just curious. I will be wiring my battery in the trunk to the fuse panel up front for my LS3 swap. Thank you very much!!

100 Amp goes to a Bussman Fuse/Relay center in the passenger side finder cavity. The 2 gauge on the bottom of the buss bar goes to the back to the battery and will have a 200 AMP circuit breaker at the battery.

Fusible links are fine for smaller gauge. All of my wires are 4 gauge and above.

Ultimate headers look nice. I thought about going with them to get better ground clearance and go to a oval exhaust
