With the MC installed, I adjusted and installed the rear output line.

And the front line to the left. As expected, all the lines required a bit of adjustment, i.e. bending.

While under the front, I decided to start some suspension installation, starting with the steering rack and tie rods. I had rebuilt the rack a few months ago, and had the rods (and most of the suspension parts) powder-coated.

I know my sequence is not normal, but it worked out. And I did some test fitting first.
Anyway, I installed the tie rods. Attached thumbnail(s) |

And another rebuild personal milestone: first fastener torque wrenching!

I then snuck the rack up into place, with reasonable clearance past the MC.
(Spoiler alert: I forgot a part that I will reveal later. Can you guess?) Attached thumbnail(s) |

This is the big rubber grommet that seals the front bulkhead around the steering shaft. To install this, I had to unbolt the cross bar and lower the rack.

With everything back in place I installed the shaft bushing retainer.

Yesterday, I kept going on the front suspension. Here is the ball joint installed in the left A-arm. Shiny new parts are very fun to work on! (I did not install the lock ring yet.)

A-arm installed. This is starting to look like something.

And the front A-arm cap. I did not get the correct new bolts, so have to order those. (Please stop my OCD!)

Here's a sneak preview of the interior. My son picked up re-covered parts from the upholstery shop in Tucson (Pancho's), and sent these photos.

Definitely not stock! The look is black vinyl with perforated gray inserts.
