More progress.
Clutch and brake lines all ran. The front end is essentially complete. I just need to mount the headlights and I will be done.
Mocked up and pre-mounted the steering wheel and steering column to check height. It is way too tall. I’m going to be shimming it down some and think I have a good way to do that.
A couple of small things.
Make sure you install the front brake calipers in the right location to where the bleed valves are up and not down…
The DF Supplied rod ends looked way too small. I installed them with the suspension set up from the video and the wheels were way toed out. I only had them threaded on by three full turns and the front end looked ridiculous. Moog 800030 Rod ends that are their factory replacements are 3/4 of an inch longer and seem to work. I will let everyone know how it works.
I found a perfect cover for the hubs. They are 2 1/4 inch rubber tube covers from Amazon. Caught them down to about 1/4-3/8 of an inch thick and they fit perfectly.

Anyone know what these three wires that went to the front end or for? I hope they weren’t supposed to go to the back end
We didn’t get the engine installed this weekend. Too many other things going on but still had a very productive weekend.
