When I installed the Boyd's tank, I had to make a bracket holder for the filler since I have a Gen 2. I was not thrilled with it and definitely not thrilled with it being inside the trunk. So last night I got the hole saw out and moved it. Always fun cutting holes in your car... lol
Tried to bevel the top edge to give it a little less of a sharp edge look but might still need some work. Thinking of ways to maybe recess it. Might look better painted to match the body, we shall see. 20241123_125021.jpg20241122_200110.jpg20241122_200123.jpg

Took advantage of the warm day and Finished the rear swaybar today. made brackets for the rear axle housing and welded them on. Thanks to James Shaw for the suggestion of making the arms longer. I made adjustable length arm extensions for more adjustability. Ignore my welds, i'm not a welder and i'm even worse laying on my back.

I made a couple e-brake cable holders out of some 1st Gen Camaro cable holders

Bump steer kit done. Had to take 3/4" off the inner tie rod, probably should have taken a full inch but I can always revisit it if needed.

Got the hood hinge sorted out and now have a functional hood. I need to figure out how I want to "latch" it at the back. I'm not a big fan of the FFR supplied latch and cable. Also going to need a big hole for an air cleaner or scoop, it just clears the carb

Looks good Frank. Looking at that hood when it's up like that makes me think you could use it as an auxiliary propulsion device with an appropriate tailwind. You could peek through the hole you're going to cut for your scoop.
