Quick question, weld mount or use hose clamps as before?

Hose clamp. Easier to change your mind

Once you find the place where you can get to it easily from inside and from the outside even if there is a fire then a permanent mount would be a good idea.

No sir, not yet. Need to run in and get some breather hoses and oil cooler lines. Making good progress though. For sure it is like building a house, frame goes up then takes a long time and a lot of parts to finish.

Some of the best Master Auto fabricators are coming over and put some electrical to this build. I can do it but it isn’t pretty, lol kinda like my welds. Here is where I am today.

It runs, big shout out to Joe and Denny. Big help getting the wiring done. One barrel not squirting was the only problem, fixed and running pretty good but still have some vacuum and plumbing to do for the turbo. That power steering is killer. Again thanks guys for taking time out to help me get rolling. Rail is looking good.

Wow! That's great news! Good job, all three of you!
I can only imagine how many hours you (and others) have been putting in to finish that guy up.
It will be good to see you again on Friday.
Go, go, GO!

Looks to be very light weight (pun intended).
