Hey guys,
Haven't posted much in a while. My Father died on the 10th of this month after fighting a losing battle with a bad fall in early December and congestive heart failure. The last two months have been pretty tough around my house. Things are getting back to some sort of normal around here though. We miss Dad alot, that's to be expected I guess, but we all know he is in a much better place so we are getting along.

I have been picking away at a few aspects on the van. Throttle cables, rear diff brake lines. I just got an aluminum throttle pedal from Speedway.
Here are some pics of the brake lines and attachment clips.
I drilled and tapped for #10-24 screws for the Adell Clamps.

The piece you see sitting on the axle tube will eventually get welded there. It will carry the hard line to soft line bracket. I need to get my flexlines from Tobin before I weld the pieces on.

Mel built some brackets to carry the relay box that will bolt into the drivers side fender.

This is the project box from Radio Shack. Mel is holding it about where it will mount. We need to make a mounting plate that will bolt to the box and then to the fender brackets.

The box will get painted body color and it will house all of the fan and headlight relays.
I also did a bit of mock up on the engine. Just looking at fuel lines and throttle cable routing.

That's about it. Hopefully we'll get a lot more done in the next few weekends.
