    POL stuff coming in after a dry spell. Roll bar assembly came in today. Some fastener hardware and rear springs on the way.

    Got the brake lines done (UGLY, but functional.) Still fighting with fuel lines. I also got the TrickFlow fuel filter located and mounted (similar to Mr. Borror's 20 Anniv build).
    Received some Fragola hose end fittings yesterday and found out today that I ordered the wrong ones. Ordered the right fittings today and sending the wrong ones back.

    Got the DS elephant ear temporarily mounted before I ran out of time. Will do the PS on tomorrow. I should have done this when I installed the F-panel. Lesson-learned.

    Got the fuel hard lines fitted in yesterday. They look far better than I expected. Now to work on building the hoses.

    Rear springs showed up on my doorstep today. Built up the rear shocks and then couldn't find the 4" bolts for the top shock mount. They must've walked away, so I made yet another trip to Ace and secured 2x. Too hot to work in the garage this afternoon (feels like 130F in there), so I'll finish the shock installs next week.
