Rear end back out again, I think one more install to check the swaybar brackets before they are welded, then it should be ready for prime/paint. Brake line brackets in, hard line mostly made, waiting on a couple fittings to finish them and got the swaybar mounts tacked in. Also got the park brake cable sorted out, will need one more clamp on the frame rail to hold them in place

I still have plenty of the baltic blue from painting the inside so Im going to paint it with that along with the engine/bellhousing.

Sway will have to go hoop down, swapped it back. The swaybay hits fuel lines. Made them with 45° fittings due to 90° fittings hitting the trunk floor. If the housing didnt have a fill hole, it could have been possible, but with the rear setup the way it is, it only fits down. Made up some brackets for brake an fuel fittings.

One down, one to go. Sucks burning through paint, but couldnt be helped. Had to go on the outside, mabye if the swaybay was 2" less on the width. Swapping brackets on frame and bar to inside still had it somewhat in a bind. Its still functional, time to focus on other things weather is warming up and it needs to be on tires by early may.

Other side done, ill clean them up later this week. Probably be able to paint them and the rear end next weekend.

Fixed the wonky headlight mount didnt notice it during the mock up, probably should have put the headlight retaining rings in, but lessons learned. Also realized why I had so many issues with the DS fender fitment. The fender must have been in the fixture sightly off and is a little bit higher.

Got the car out of the garage today, gave it a dust off and a little sunlight. Little bit of progress running some wires. Clutch, motor mounts and the flowmaster super 44s arrived. Probably order the tti mid and tailpipes this week, waiting to see if mancini racing has a deal on them.
