.... into the final stages of mockup ..........

... brake line routes on the firewall ......... the center and right paths are to the brake proportioning adjustment knob under the left corner of the dashboard ....... will be able to adjust the bias from inside the car ........ the left path will go to the remote brake reservoir



... we have changed our minds about the placement of the fuel filter ........ it will be mounted at the rear in front of the fuel pump (see mark on frame rail) ...... that way the filter will the first item in the flow from the fuel cell ...... just a little better when the pump receives filtered fuel



... the wheelie bars have been tack welded to the rear axle housing ..... the measurement will put the upper bar 1" below the roll pan and the casters 8" above the ground



... the exhaust system is being put in place ...... 2-1/2" system ..... other than bolting the collectors to the headers, the entire system will be welded in place ....... no clamps ......... even the hangers will be welded to the pipes ........ slash chrome tips will exit just in front of the rear wheel flares





... the fuel pressure regulator and gauge have been mounted to the right frame ........ and the fuel line has been run to the intake ......... braided transmission cooler lines will attach to the frame ..... and then hard lines will take the transmission fluid the rest of the way to the attachments in the radiator



... Lokar transmission tube, fuel lines, and brake lines can be seen from this angle ........ the rear end has been moved back 3/4" by adjustments on the four link ..... will allow for proper tire clearance with the body



... still waiting on a few parts ......... body will go back on this Wednesday for its final mockup along with the repositioning of the body mounts, fuel cell positioning and line (and vent) attachments ........... hopefully all mockup will be completed this week .......... then starts the complete chassis tear down in preparation for paint ........ we hope to have the chassis totally painted, re-assembled, and with totally functioning engine, tranny, and rear end by this time next month ......... that will leave us over a month to finish the body mods, prime, paint, and upholster
