Good to see. Getting closer to the pointy end of the build now.

Nice work - I found getting those lower control arms installed in the frame mounts to be a bit of a struggle. A better position for leverage and 25 years younger would probably have helped a little.

Moving forward....

Phil,
Bare interior looks great all in black.
Keep the pictures coming.
You may have noticed...I'm trying to gee-up more posting of builds like yours. I love it, and I've said it elsewhere, it keeps me coming back (almost) every day to the forum to check what's happening with builds.
Cheers,
Glen

Here is the latest on the build. Wiring is complete. Just recieved my engine block from shop. Going to start assemly of motor after Thanksgiving Holiday. On the fence again with the TKO 600 and the Toploader. Had a close ratio unit up until the summer. Tail housing was wrong size and it needed a rebuild. Talked to both Lykins Motorsport and David Kee. I'm leaning again on the Toploader, draw back is David will not have any until end of January/February.

I think this is correct from memory. Were they with the wiper cable-drive boxes? |

They are wiper tubes. There's an illustration in the assembly manual around page 100.
