didnt get any pics today. worked long and got home and started to bleed the brake lines. have 2 leaks, both at the 2 and 10lb residual valves. got the front one fixed, still have to finish the rear. also got the the wiring harness inside the car finished. all i need to finish wiring is the head lights, power for the distributer and alt.

got to make a low mount bracket for the alt as well. go pedal stand and linkage and finish front turn signals and mount them.

need radiator hoses, 1/8"x1"x1" sq tubing to finish the doors, front windshield, need to make a template for glass cutters.

this weekend/ (friday) plan is to get it finished wired up and checked, fix leak on rear brake line, start it and recheck brakes. try out old tranny and motor and see if my creation moves on its own power and stops safely.
