Update 8/5/13

I modified the upper and lower radiator supports so that they clear the tilt hood mechanism. I started taking all the removable parts off the front of the chassis so I can prime and paint forward of the passenger compartment. There are a lot of places where I need to fully weld joints and do a little sheet metal work but all the major assemblies are mounted—brake booster, brake and clutch master cylinders, radiator, battery, fuel tank and steering. I started counting up the connections that need to run to the back of the car and there are LOTS.

Rear brake lines
Radiator hoses
Vacuum hose
Power steering lines
Battery cable
Clutch line
Fuel lines and return
