also installed the gas tank,fuel pump and hard lines for the fuel.the only thing i have left is about a foot of line that goes to the carb.planning on making an access panel with a hinge and a small trunk for tools above the gas tank. the nice part about the way the frame was built and the use irs is that the rear floor board will only need to come up about two inches. but what an undertaking. word to the wise. i will never use an irs from a lincoln again. notching the frame and installing a four link,in the long run is alot cheaper and easier. although it will ride very smooth. i also found out today my rear end gear ratio is a 3.27 with limited slip. i was hoping in had a tracpac posi

i just finished cutting the hole in my firewall were the steering shaft hangs out. i used a grommet i got out of a two inch side marker kit i got at napa for $6.00.since my steering column is bolted up under the dash i dont have to worry about it moving, i just have to have a water proof seal at the firewall.i still have to grind some metal and do some bondo work on the hole firewall.as you can see it still looks pretty rough around the steering column hole especially.

here are some pics of my gas door i did a little while back. i had a really hard time finding a all metal gas door and inlet.most of the ones i ran across in local wrecking yards were either part plastic or all plastic. i got this whole set up out of all things a 1972 capri. i finally found something a capri is actually useful for.

got the air compressor and air lines hooked up.i found out my backflow valve leaks air. so i have to order another one from airbagit.com because the stupid thing has a metric fitting and no local store can get metric backflow valves.i put the wheels and tires on. the running boards are about an inch off the ground. still have to wire up the air management system. the instruction say plug and play. maybe i am missing something, i wish it were that easy. i'm going to work on painting my steering column and putting in my grant steering wheel with telescopic adapter this weekend. next week the body goes on the frame and i will try starting the motor.
