Long time coming-my new toy

Got all the rear suspension and brakes back on-all brake lines made and fitted as well.I have made the lower part of the panel to close in the back of the cab.I folded a 50X20mm ally hat and bolted across,just below the join to strengthen it-is really solid at the join.I bought this solenoid valve to put in the supply line to the dry sump pump-it's 12 volt and I will have it energised with the ignition switch.It's has 1" ports and I have used 3/4" ID fittings and made the supply line 3/4" all the way to the pump fitting-so should have a good supply.This a breather I made from 100X50mm ally tube and will run everthing to it.

Some more progress.Rear body panel and window done.Did the rear window in a tinted plastic and have cut a hole to fit a rear light just above the window.Put the engine back in to finish all the pipe work off.

A lot of work but little progress.I spent quite a few weeks dealing with Pat from CB sorting what was needed for the injection.Settled on their turbo/methanol ECU,cam and crank trigger to run full sequential spark and fuel,wire harness and all the sensors.Because the crank trigger needs a bracket behind the pulley to hold the probe,I have had to move that solid steel pipe with the main relief valve and make new fittings to move it all.Have ordered an Aeromotive 1400 HP fuel pump and fuel pressure reg and 40 and 100 mic filters.Need to also order some 120lb injectors,but they are readily available everywhere.I had fitted 28' by 9" slicks but there was less than 3/8" clearance on the inside at the adjusting blocks on the spring plates.Worked out that I could move the stub axles out 9mm by making a thinner new inner spacer and taking out all the shims for the calipers and the mounting bracket.I will have to make a spacer now for one CV joint each side.Plenty of room now.I have started to wire it,but will need the harness to finish it all.I am using a Type3 auto shifter and modified it today to have a lockout for top gear,will have to lift the lever now for 3rd.Because of the reverse pattern valvebody,!st is next to neutral,so have to pull back for up shifts,so can't miss 2nd and go straight into top.
