Very nice frame! Looking at how the AC lines are I would leave them loose from the frame. In place, just not bolted in the brackets until after the fittings are screwed together without being stressed. This way you have the most play without having to bend the lines to tweak them together.

Looks great!
I suggest that you leave the bolts for the control arm bushings a little loose until everything is assembled and the weight of the car is being transmitted through the wheels. The bushings are meant to be locked in place under full dead weight load.

Good point! I'm sending the old A/C lines out today, have a guy replicating them, I'm over bending tube! Fuel and brake lines where enough.

Looks great!
With everything so accessible now would be a good time to fit the exhaust header bolt extension tubes.

Yes, looks great!
It would be nice if I had already done so much on 2503.

Thank you,
I wouldn't want to do 2 of these cars! Its always cheaper to purchase them done, however IMO not nearly as fun as doing it yourself, and knowing once its done that "everything" has been attended to. Its all good...
