    A little more tweaking and I should be able to drop the engine in. I'm not really that happy with the fit of "The Right Stuff" brake and fuel lines, but I guess I shouldn't be too fussy.

    Thanks Guys!! It's been lots of fun, nice to see it coming back together...
    The suspension parts are a few different colors, what ever I could find to match the factory finish, Semi-gloss Black, Cast-Blast (2 different brands), and Por 15 bare metal.
    Did one last trip to National Parts Depot today for all the little things....
