LOL. I thought it might be cool to add a few factory looking pieces to the mix. I think i may return the tower clamps, i just stuck them on there to see what it would look like.

[QUOTE=Dougs72Nova;1310910]Hey guys. I'm getting close to starting this thing up. Me and my wife installed the motor and trans last night. My wife makes a great helper! Let me know what you think so far.


You're a lucky guy to have her helping you.
Makes the project more fun.
My wife isn't much for the helpin' part, likely from all the brake bleedin' years ago, but she likes the cars as much as I do.
She likes driven them too!
The more she pushes the gas the bigger the smile.

Starting to run my fuel system. I made a fuel regulator bracket out of 6061 aluminum. I was kind of proud of it so i figured i would post a picture.

I wanted a little different look this time for the fuel system. I went with Russell Pro Classic fittings and line. The fittings are black with a silver end. The line has the same rating as the stainless but has a nylon braid. It is black with a blue tracer. The line was super easy to cut and the fittings went on with ease as well. I think it gives a clean look.

I agree Doug, the black lines and fittings look very nice.
I went that way myself with my fuel lines!
