Few more pics. It's starting to come together. Got the battery box mounted that Creepy cut out for me. Got the drivers floor pan mounted too. Got the hyd. lines all made. Mounted the rear steer valve on top of the doubler. View from the drives seat. Gettin full in around the engine I've got a couple inner coolers here that people have gave me. Not sure where I can mount them so that they'll be any good?might just leave them for down the road.

Yeah, I knew that I had to keep the drive. Just didn't know about the vac. pump on it. Couldn't figure out why they would put a large vent on a oil pump drive. LOL

Gettin closer now. Think that I have all the plumbing done now. Got most the hyd system primed, turned the pump with my 1/2 drill, and had the rear steer workin. Still need to get the steering wheel mounted to the column before I can get the front steering primed. Went a little different route with the brake lines on this buggy. I decided that I'd do it all in soft line. Picked up one of the Allstar nylon brake kits from work. One kit has enought pieces to plumb a stock car. For my brakes I had to get a few more 90* fittings for the masters and calipers. No need for flex lines at the knuckles or at any pivot points. Picked up a 3"x 6" K&N air filter with a 2.5" neck on a 5* angle and stuck it right on the turbo Got the rad all mounted and water lines run. Just used 1" heater hose, cheap and easy to run through the chassis. Got the front jack shaft mounted in the buggy. Now I can figure out what lengths I need for the drive shafts. Another week and I should have it moving around under its own power.

Didn't think that nylon line could handle break pressure! Interesting. They use it on stock cars eh?
Jackshaft looks good, does the companion flange bolt on the front? What did you use under there? a pinion?
Moving along good now....keep at 'er!
