Once I pulled the harness through the car from front to back, it was time to lay out the different pieces of the harness in the front.

^^thanks Brett it's been a long road. Been needing to run fuel lines. I have an electric carter fuel pump that will be installed forward of the front bulkhead. I plan to run two fuel lines, stainless steel, I believe it is 3/8" in size. The reason I am running two is just in case someday I decide I want to turbo this car! Never say never right? At any rate, I will run these lines down the pass side of the tunnel in the passenger compartment. I decided to leave the stock line as-is. So the hard part was drilling holes in the bulkheads front and rear, otherwise it was a pretty easy job. Of course I used good quality grommets and fasteners. Unfortunately I didn't take many photos, but here are a few!

Cant find a completed photo, but in the end the lines ran nice and tight to the tunnel so they won't be seen with carpet over them.

Hey guys and gals -- really apologize for being such a dead beat with not updating this thread. Better get back on it! I think I left off with posting some wiring. Next up is a bunch of little assebly scheit, like welding in AN fittings into my valve covers, fitting the engine perimeter gasket, fitting tins, installing fuel lines, filter, and pump, etc.

I also had a big order in with Gabfab keys in California, that order came in! He redid my ignition switch, and keyed my car the same for all doors and the ignition. One key does it all....dig it

Had a little issue when I installed my velocity stacks on the carbs. The bolt holes were so close to the body I had to clearance the sides of the stack to be able to turn the nut and secure the stack to the carb.... Twisted Evil

Other little details I've been working on are installing the door striker plates. Also, had to trim the gasket in the engine compartment to get the fresh air scoop from the shroud to fit right. Shit takes crazy amount of time...
