Great read...and excellent photos and documentation. I really enjoy reading these build threads - since they are always an inspiration to keep working. I know from my own thread - that keeping a build thread updated and organized can be a lot of work. Thanks for taking the time and posting.

Thanks!
Since it's fun for me to do, I don't consider it work. Glad you are enjoying reading. I'll check out your build thread.

Today:
I thought about painting the body floor with epoxy today and changed my mind. I'll wait until I have the body back on the frame so I can get all the bracing out of the way.
My intention is to install the engine and transmission and then wrap the entire chassis in plastic stretch wrap right before setting the body on.
So I continued to get a few more things installed on the frame today instead. I got more brake lines installed and all the e-brake cables.







The clips with the bolts you see are the originals that I blasted and painted with Duplicolor aluminum engine enamel. I wont use original clips along the straight part of the frame rail that also clip the fuel lines in. They won't work since I need to run the fuel lines different from stock for the fuel injection. I haven't bought any fuel line yet but I will need to run 2 - 3/8" lines for the feed and return. I'm still studying on how I want to do it.
