Time to do the installation of the trunk aluminum pieces.  Lot's of drilling, but everything fit nice & easy.

 

In order to clean up some of the wiring in the engine compartment, I bought some plastic boxes from Radio Shack and put the Fuel Pump Relay and Starter Relay inside them.  From the front of the car, you can't see the mess of wires inside.

This is how the engine looks with everything connected and tied into place.

 

With the rear cockpit wall in place, I trial fit the transmission cover.  A little adjustment was needed, but nothing to difficult

 

Finally figured out the turn signal and hazard circuit.  Once all the bulb ends were tested, I installed the Steering Wheel.

With all the wiring done, time to get ready to close it up.

 

Now that I'm getting close to putting the body on, I'm starting to think about what color to paint it.  Here's the latest color that's on my short list.

 

Just a couple issues to sort out before taking the car out for a spin.  There is a small fuel leak coming from the front injectors, and need to make some adjustments to the rear brakes.

Next month, the body should be installed and on to the finishing work.
