Looks great. Nice to see how the exhaust is tucked in there.

There is something oddly therapeutic about making plug wires.

Or maybe I'm just odd

Larry those look nice. I like how your cap is a little bigger to give you more room for the wire ends. Mine are packed pretty tight.
I like your wire holders too, I almost went with that style.

More little stuff.  Since the video (see link) was made I did the pedal placement, driveshaft loop roughed in  and built my body buck.  Casters for the buck will be here tomorrow morning,  and I'll get the body on it so I can start mounting the tubs.

You may need to trim clutch push rod with the pedal adjusted in that position. Press pedal and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The pedals with the "AC" look really sharp, nice touch. Did you put those on our Hurricane?
Don't trim your clutch push rod too much, the pedal travel is longer than I expected it would be. My pedal would've hit the foot box wall the way I had it initially adjusted. Luckily I had just enough length to properly adjust it.
You also might have to trim your driveshaft loop bolts off so they don't hit the trans tunnel. I have to credit Greg for giving me a heads up on that.

No you guys are just fine, I appreciate the info.  Got the body in the buck today so soon I'll mount the tub and go from there.

Larry, why did you decide to not use the heater? Figure it'll be worthless or not enough room?

It will probably fit, but I just don't feel like screwing with it.  It is close, and complicated under dash
