I have made a lot of progress lately. Got the instruments back from North Hollywood speedo. They turned out very nice cosmetically. Won't be able to test them until car is further along though but they repaired all the temp lines and put a quartz movement in the clock as well. 

I also got the engine back from my builder...

Added the AC pump, new fuel pump, new water pump, various pulley brackets, reconditioned valve cover, awaiting alternator for the alternator conversion, converted to electronic ignition. 

I also went with dual Makunis carbs and a 4-1 header. This required finding the "old style" single intake manifold.

I was able to reuse the old brake lines, so I got those cleaned up and put in. Awaiting a new master cylinder. Decided to go with a larger 1inch bore dual master and not put the booster back on. Hopefully it won't take Scwarzenager legs to stop the thing. 

Got in a new fuel line as well. Multiple little things here and there...
