Fab'n in these 69 RB door handles. Moved the location to a more favorable spot than the factory. Thanks to Steve Lenning for giving me his extra relays, he was the mastermind of this idea! Cable assembly/pulley is Lokar. The Teflon cable guides are really just to keep the cable from rattling. Very pleased with how solid and accurate the operation feels.

That's a much better angle to grab the handle than the factory had, looking good.

That's one area I want to try something different in, as well. The arm rest or door pull really needs to be beefier than the factory arm rest.

I really like what you've done here, John.

Thanks guys! The location does really feel very natural while seated and it lets your elbow do the work of opening the door very well. Honestly was a little surprised how solid it feels, expected the whole thing to be a little cheezy and to end up with a redo but it's pretty stout. If you want to duplicate and want any more detailed pics, let me know.

Started getting the oil tank and the AC lines under control. Lots to fit in a little area. Had planned on using the VA bulkhead but I think this will be cleaner once I build a panel to close off this area behind the inner fender....all this will be concealed. Less fittings and should make final assembly of the VA system a little easier and cleaner.

Changed the firewall to accommodate this exit panel, takes away the symmetrical look of this raised area but again...it will be behind the close out panel anyway.

Very nice approach. I see the bulkhead connectors as just introducing 8 more places it could possibly leak. I think the grommets are the way to go. Great idea and execution!

Thanks! Definitely a lot to cram into this area. Next up is building the filler neck for the tank. Also working on fab'ing a dipstick into the tank. And then porting both of those over to access holes in the fender. And the drain. And keeping all of that fairly well protected from something coming off the tire. I did put a single layer of Kevlar in the fiberglass inner fender lay-up but I'm looking at adding another layer as the tank, fittings and lines are ending up much closer to the inner than I originally designed.
