Hey Jason,

The detail work looks fantastic, first time I've seen e-brake cables that look correct. Is this being built as a street car or drag car? The reason I ask is the placement of the sump on the fuel tank. If this is a street car it may be OK, but if it's a drag car it needs to be turned around and moved further back on the tank.

This is a tank from a Camaro that has had a sump added.

Working on relocating the sump. Shoula realized its on wrong. It will be just a street car but I cant leave it that way I think I may have been up too late that night haha

The e-brake cables are made from 26 gauge wire painted black and wrapped with smallar wire. Ends are crimp beads

Thank you for all your comments I appreciate all of them also for correcting my mistake haha

Made some progress on this one. Made some firewall bodymounts and brake line tabs for the subframe. Finished the interior floor and started on the engine. oversprayed the bell housing with orange.

That's looking good, Jason. I like your logic in adding the details to the subassemblies. I might have to copy that on my current build.
