yeah i need more progress too....from the utility companies around here.
not sure if anyone caught the news/weather last weekend, but friday we got hit HARD by a thunderstorm with winds clocked at 86mph and a couple tornadoes in the area. everything is ok for me, but the garage my car is in has no power, and won't for another couple days possibly, so work is postponed until electricity is restored

Your car looks absolutely amazing. Good luck with the rest of the build, hopefully it comes together without any problems.
How are you cutting the SS lines? I had some problems when I did my first SS fuel system too. I learned to wrap the line in tape(I used electrical tape) and use a Dremel and cutting wheel. It buzzes right through the line and leaves it relatively clean to put the fittings on.

pretty much the same method. i got my first fitting on using electrical tape and cutting it with a die grinder. i haven't messed with it since because i don't know where to make the next cut until i get the fuel tank in. when i DO, i'm going to try some tape with fiberglass strands in it and use a thinner cut-off wheel.
