But so far it looks like the only burnout Roger will experience will be from the rear tires.
All kidding aside, this has to be the fastest nut & bolt restorations ever documented on this forum. Truly amazing pace!
Dataway and 68, you guys crack me up. And thanks for the compliments!
Btw, today marks 6 months that I have been working on this project. Things will slow down in the summer when it gets hotter than blazes here. I do have some other things planned.

Here's a link the the thread if it helps.

Thanks.
One option I was looking at for the fuel lines was to buy 2 of these from Inline Tube, run them side-by-side and try to find some aftermarket clips to use along the straight part of the frame rail that will hold them and the brake line. With my fuel injection setup, I wont need that 1/4" vapor return line.
I wont be able to run stock clips where the fuel lines go back to the tank either but my intention is not to drill and new holes in the frame. But, I might install rivet nuts into a few existing holes.
