Probably doesn't look like much progress has been made to the novice, but it's getting a lot closer to being ready to haul the mail......... [:P]

Phil I noticed you took the three bolts out of the trunk hinge, it's much better to leave them in and remove the bolt at the hinge attachment point. Same thing for the hood. It can be a real pain to get the alignment right.

The car looks great, keep it up.

Glenn, I didn't have any problem with the fuel lines. Today I bent, ran, and connected all the hydraulic lines (brakes front-n-rear, and clutch). Kind of a pain :( but I got it done. I used a heat reflective shield/sleeve where any line came close to the header - - which was all of them. Good luck, and keep us posted.
