Here the rear diff is installed into the chassis and everything hooked up. I have seen the orange paint applied to the brake lines several times in the past (on 1970 cars) and found them on this car so I replicated them. All of the e-brake hardware and cables are original to the car and have been painstakingly restored back to original.

I also took the time over the weekend to install the trans into the chassis and attach all the peripherals onto it as well as finish off the simulated bare steel crossmember. I still have some inspection marks to add to the shifter but you get the idea.

I then added the car's exhaust manifolds onto the engine and painted the orange around the flanges to simulate a new engine with a little run time on it. The engine is painted with a custom mix single stage gun sprayed paint for durability and longevity.
