so far for me the best part of this build is the fact that your shop is in as much disarray as mine.....ha ha ha. i'm not the only one. if i told you it was in there and sent someone to find it, they would have no chance at all. ha ha ha............... too funny. keep up the great job. this thing is going to be sweet.

I made a custom mount for the PCM , Since it didnt have any mounting holes. I wanted to insulate it from the body and away from the engine heat so I mounted it on the RH Kick panel area in plain view so It can plug in and program easy without removing anything interior panels

Working on a custom A/C install. The goal is to have the lines run under the fender wells to be hidden from the engine bay.

John, simply amazing fabrication. I have one question. It seems that access to the wiring and plumbing, to my untrained eye, would be difficult after assembly. Do you have a path way in mind, giving accessability to these systems?

Also, I know that the tires are on strictly to roll car around the shop, but my tire eye keeps telling me that the front tires are on the wrong side of the car.

Yes, as noted by others above, awesome fabricating there.
One item I see is on drivers side A/C piping. The fill valve appears that it will be non accessible after fender assembly.

No criticism here.
Thanks for the updates

In reality , I have the fill valve were you can access it though the inner fender shield. Leo , Those are the correct wheels and tires sitting at the correct ride height..

Thank you. I still have my door spring on my hinges. I thought of taking them out though. As I get closer to the final body work, I will look at that..
