Making progress on the wiring, got the dash all wired up and installed, hoping to get it all done tomorrow. :)

Looking awesome!

Will you be at Radium this year, ZZ?

How did you end up mounting the fenders? Are they mounted to the suspension or did they end up connected to the rest of the body? I have been thinking about that idea and have a few brain waves about how it could work. It's a fun thought exercise.

Radium, maybe - depends on pending knee surgery, it may mess with having fun but it will get priority - when you get the call, you gotta go...
Fenders are mounted to the suspension arms - that's the reason for the trailing arm pivots being right at either end of the running boards, so the ends of the fenders stay lined up to the running boards as they move up and down.

Wiring is all done except for connecting the headlights and tail lights on account of they're not there yet.... Steering column, shifter, E brake also installed along with the lower dash section holding the radio and 12V outlets. After a bunch of wigglin' and jigglin', got the HEI to engage the oil pump drive shaft and sit down in place, seems to be a thing with these aftermarket distributors ...:confused: Engine is almost ready to fire up, need to find the right rad hoses, cranking over with the key so it won't be long now...:cool:
