Made my kill switch for under seat, started routing battery cables and trans controller. Got trans lines ran with all AN fittings, got all the brakes done and fluid to all 4 corners. Had to make my own coupler to connect pedal and booster. Got radiator hoses figured out, took alot of searching! Any of you having an issue with a GM metric PWS pump 16mm x1.5 to a mustang rack (my rack came with 6AN fittings). Done tons of research and just decided to get the AN adapter for the pump (ebay 4-9$) then found a place that premade AN teflon braided hose for $20. I only needed about 1ft distance and for me to make my own line woulda been almost $50. So go that outta the way, also used the borgeson PWS pump reducing washers for the pump to get the pressure closer to the mustang psi of 950.

Final welded my leaf perches as that wasn't done, recoated rear of frame. Got all the fuel line ran, I'm goin to fire engine back up real soon. Made a bracket up front for the regulator. it mounts off the carb studs. I'll clean it up and prolly paint it. Waiting on the retro caddy air cleaner. I gotta put a few things back on engine and do some wiring and she'll fire up. Then I need to get DS made and wire up trans and boom I'm ready to test drive it.

Then onto final assembly of glass and wiring etc. We are getting seat done real soon too. I'v finally hit my 500hr mark. So I'm over the mark there. and we are a little over our parts budget but not by much! She should be on the road very soon. Finally. then back onto my 51' should have that on road this summer. Oh I'll be making my TPS bracket this weekend. Found one on amazon for $10. People want 150-200 for a kit, can't believe what they are asking for something like that. I need to finalize my fuel filler out in bed and that's the last figuring out stuff. I'll have some interior work to do too.
Awesome stuff. You'll be driving in no time!
