got a few misc brake line fittings and a junk yard proportioning valve to get my brakes hooked back up. since i got rid of the ABS i had to find the right fittings to put 2 brake lines to 1 hole. NAPA finally got me figured out.
had to cut my throttle body spacer down 1/2 and my cleaner base seal CNC'd down 1 1/4" to make room for the hood. the TB spacer was to clear the booster line fitting on the back of the intake, and to simulate the 1/2" thickness of a NOS crosshair plate that will be there someday.
this weekend i'll be trying to figure out how to route my OEM hard brake lines away from the headers but keep them inside of the fender wells. should be fun. i decided to keep the metal fenderwells even though they are heavy as hell. it also made things easier. maybe a future project will be getting rid of them.
if i have time i'll get a new u-joint into the stock driveshaft, install it and fill the trans with fluid and start looking into the TCI transmission controller wiring/mounting. the stock driveshaft is a temp thing just because i want to be able to creep it around the block and look for bugs and leaks.
oh, my spring sliders are installed, but only vice gripped into place. trying to decide if i want to weld them in or just bolt them in. the welder is at my dads place, so i will probably just bolt them up.
here is where it sits. the air cleaner now sits 1.5" lower and the hood has room to shut now.

i'll probably get that done this weekend too.
