    Great work as always. You are a restoration artist and first rate mechanic doing the correct and proper thing. Steve's restoration shop should have required watching of your videos for their employees! It's pretty easy to burn up 100 hours on a resto. Given the amount of redo work on Steve's car he's lucky to have you available to fix the shoddy work done earlier. I wish I lived closer to you so that you could work on mine! And again, thanks for posting and showing us how YOU do things.

    Wow, a pipe wrench...😬😬😬 that was surprising! I have a crank socket and they are $22 bucks now at Summit, cheap insurance! Those pre-bent stainless brake lines sure are a lot nicer than the Inline Tube brand they sell at Classic Industries! Mine are giving me fits and holding up the progress on my Bel Air! I like how those even follow the contour of the V8/6cyl stock motor mount pads! I have to modify mine and all 3 of my really nice flare kits that state they will flare stainless, aren't cutting it! I may get a new roll from Speedway and make my own or go to Napa like you did with Steve's and start over. That lid came out really nice, all things considered. It looks brand new! That fuel pump looks like it has some burnt orange overspray paint on it. I splurged and bought a new Edelbrock Performer Fuel Pump so that I can spin the bottom and line up the inlet and outlet ports correctly. Hopefully, it will work out well. The frame came out beautiful! Steve is lucky and is paying for your great attention to detail! It will all be worth it to him when he turns the key, gets to drive it and is handed his first trophy! It will also be nice to have Steve there to help put his engine in. Keep up the great work! Hopefully, it will all be downhill from here!

    Great idea about the MGI cable glands.
    I found them on Amazon and am ordering them 👍🏻

    Here is a thought about the battery 🔋 box I'm wondering if you got your hands on daul buffer with 8 inch across maybe you could use one wheel buffing compound the other wheel 🛞 would be for final buffing anyway hope you like the Idea. If you don't have one maybe see if you could rent one just to see if you really want one. Good luck on the build.

    That battery box is going to be very cool! I assume those brake calipers are the “Chevelle type”? (D52 caliper) …. Which front brake hoses do you typically use? 69 Camaro? Keep up the great work!

    That is cheap compared to Idaho gas. I think Idaho gas ⛽️ for premium gas is 3.69 a gallon it might even be higher when Memorial Day gets here.
