| Since the Runoffs were over, it was now
time for me to start working on my car again. Step one was to
finish the trunk area and install the fuel cell, pumps, filter and
associated lines.

| In preparation for
the "Big Build" next weekend, Rich Sheldon came down from Reed
City and helped out with getting the footwell panels prepped.
While he was cutting and hacking, I cut the fuel line to the correct
length, put the proper fitting on the end and installed the
firewall bulkhead for the fuel line. I also go the surge tank for
the cooling system mounted on the firewall.

| Today I continued
with some chassis prep. I finished all the small water lines
(surge tank and beyond) and the fuel system (I mounted the fuel pressure
regulator and its associated lines).

more chassis prep yesterday and today.

| Today I
assembled and installed the radiator tray.

| Today I designed,
built and installed the brake and clutch lines from the master cylinders
to the firewall bulkheads. In an effort to tidy up the engine bay,
I decided to make all three brake and clutch lines pass behind the
dash. On the backside of the firewall, I've connected the rest of
the lines to the bulkhead fittings. I also built and installed the
oil pressure sensor line that will connect from the motor to the oil pressure
gauge.

| Today I finished
fabricating the second trunk panel......and all that this task required
(moving all the fuel system parts).
