Coming back together one day at a time...

Got around to putting the motor back together, did some more body soldering and took the measurements for the tunnel cover/full length center console. I have 4 weeks to finish this damn thing, but everything's coming together really fast now.

For lack of a better word, this is amazing. Very impressive work! I enjoyed every page.

Started on the hard lines for the air. Looks like I'll be flaring copper tube for the rest of the night.

This isn't a build it's a complete overhaul. This is an entirely different level. I am glad you chose to document it all here.

Love the consistent progress on this, can't wait to see finished product! Your work on everything is top notch.

Guessing your car has that vacuum advance mess that is in my 300TD. Going to go to a mechanical door lock or repair the vacuum system?

I'm just going mechanical, they were busted when I got the car and I don't care to have vacuum automatic locks.

Are you using a Ridgid tube bender on your lines? Looks like the bends are coming out very nice, which isn't trivial on soft tube like copper.
