Looking Great!!! An inspiration! I can't wait until June to get back to work on mine and finish those last few feet I need to go. The way you're going through this stuff just adds fuel to the fire.

I LOVE IT!!!!!! Love the console you have going on there! Awesome work!!!
And of course, who the heck doesn't like CHROME! Beautiful power plant!
 
Well could not help myself. Lol thinking about all the body work I had ahead of me I decided to buy the fenders. Bought both sides brand new from a guy I know for $250 could not pass it up.

Installed my power steering pump and after 4 trips to the parts store got all my belts to run the engine

I also finished my gas line. Tried to run it the traditional way, but ran into a problem with the A/C compressor being above the intake so I had to find another way. I made my own setup to accommodate the dual outlet I had with the Holley 570 Street Avenger, so this is what I came up with. Also I Mounted the MSD setup and cut all my spark plug wires and installed the radiator :)

Couple more pictures of my custom setup I made. -6 an fitting with steel braided line , Holley regulator and gauge. Go's so show you, if you run into a problem there's always another way to get the job done. I just did research on the net to see all the options I had and that's when I came up with this solution..
Pretty happy the way it came out.:D
