Ahhhhh. I love the smell of a fresh painted car in the morning
Except when it permeates into the house and it gives the wife a headache.

Car has been tucked away since paint. Not much progress. Got started on fuel and brake lines. Also the battery cable relocate. messed a few bends, so had to order more fuel hardline. Painted the dash the past few days.

Working on the wires, brake and fuel lines. Mostly mocked in while I make sure everything fits. Brake lines are pretty good,(didn't waste too much) just need to order a booster/MC to finish them in the engine bay. Still a few bends left on PS to finish and need to make all the flares for the lines. Lost the tank J bolts, so wont be able to finish fuel lines till they arrive.

Ordered a 9" rearend from Moser on Wednesday and it arrived today. True to advertising with a 2 day turnaround, great service. Had the housing end to end set at 49 1/4. With a 2.5 offset on the wilwood discs should be able to get the rim offset around 8.5" with mabye around a 5 1/4 backspace. Still a ways to go for that.
Of course one set of the brackets(plus a complete 4 pc set of spares) is hiding somewhere and 4 hours of searching didnt produce any results. So no welding today. Will try to find them again tomorrow, fingers crossed, but will probably have to order a new set.
Edit: didnt get a center chunk yet, havent decided fully on the gearing, but leaning towards 3.89.

Managed to find the upper 4link brackets and fuel tanks bolts in a random box with door hinges. Got the sway bar and tank mocked up. Had to remove material from the passenger side swaybar perch since due to the housing offset and narrowed makes it a very tight fit. Started on the parking brake cables, but unsure exactly how to run them so gave up for the day to search for some pictures or a thread on here.
On the cables, this company may be of help. controlcables.com
On my 65 with the S60 and Doc Diff rear discs, I'll be running the rh unit over to the left side, use a connector yoke to join with the left, then run one up to the front along the frame connector and catch the cable come from the pedal. Going this route instead of the usual Y.

I have universal cables all hooked up from the front down the frame connector and the lh/rh split at the DS lower 4link mount. Im just not sure what would be the best route at the axle housing/securing them past that point. Searching the forum/net hasn't yielded any good pictures to reference.
I'm going to attach the cables to the diff. Then head to where yours are.
