The wiring and dash took some time to do. Then it was on to a lot of little things and some added details. Here the dash braces that are seen on original cars are added.

Girling master cylinder resevoirs. Thanks to Larry for pointing out that the Girling cans are the same as PVC cement cans. I was able to make these rather inexpensively. Thanks Larry!

Driveshaft and safety loop

The headers are very close to the master cylinders. Steve came up with the idea to wrap them with Kool Mat to keep the heat off of them. I expanded on that idea by taking a piece of aluminum with Kool Mat attached to it and making a shield to protect the cylinders from heat. I am thinking about shielding the lines going down the firewall also. Thanks Steve!

The brakes and clutch have been bled and the engine has been fired. I am currently working on the seats, seat belts, battery mount and other misc. items. I will post more pics as I move along.
