You might wanna close your eyes and ignore this update if billet is your master.
Marquez billet blinker housings now my driving lights. Just finished powder coating and installing them. The remaining pieces are my Clutch rods, I'm using heim joints. They're also now powder coated. Took awhile to talk myself into this!

Thanks all, driveshaft and sound deadener should be at my door step any day now. Then I'm ready for headers and exhaust. Waiting on a call from a special somebody for that one.

Found an old thread by David Pozzi showing how to relocate my shifter to it's original position so I've decided to try and give it a go. Pictured is the first half of the move, I fabricated a new relocation plate using 3/8" aluminum plate instead of steel, moving the shifter 1 1/2" down and 1" forward. Next I will have to change the husrt shifter making a stick adapter extending it up 1" and 2" to the right. Hope it works out. 



My sound deadener showed up today along with my new Dynatech 3 1/2" aluminum driveshaft. I'll get these items installed as soon as I get the hurst shifter relocated.

Installed the radiator hose tonight. Used the thermoplastic clamps.

Bought an xfactor crossmember and really like it. Gave me about 3/4" more clearance for exhaust and my driveline is now at the correct angle.

Little update, shockwaves are in(tight fit, had to manufacture a few special brackets to make it work), side glass/nurelics power window equipment and all associated pieces are in (what a nightmare as my xbody guy left us w/a few surprises). Driveline is in (and Todd if you're reading, I now have the correct driveline angle ) All brake/fuel lines are completed. Vintage air lines all installed, March power steering reservoir and associated lines installed, my Dakota digital vhx guages/American auto wire kit have arrived and ready to install and I ordered a set of Forgelines(at the end of the day, I just couldn't turn down the Black Friday discount). So I guess I'll have a set of Budnik Tillers/Michelin pilot sports package up for sale along with a set of coilovers here shortly. Been moving right along on the car here lately as I have a good person helping me. Two front seats have also been upholstered and ready to go.
