Ok tell me what y'all think ( not that I'm going to change any of it 
)
I tried to make it as clean as possible
Obviously the computer is on the front of the inner fender The black box on top is the Cable X box which takes the speedo output from the computer and turns a cable so we can keep the stock speedo ( did the same set up on the GTO)
There is going to be another black box toward the back of that inner fender for the Dakota Digital cruise control but I haven't mustard up the want to start that mess ( looks confusing but I'm sure it simple)
Anyways tell me what y'all think
Before
After

I just noticed that I didn't take any pics after we got done.
the entire engine bay is pretty much done. The power steering is all hooked up. The alternator is on. the only thing that isn't on is the 90* bend off of the throttle body to the air filter.

Looks pretty cool. What did you do with the throttle linkage? Did you keep the stock pedal and adapt a cable from it or did you change out the pedal assembly with a modern cable pedal? What the part number on the lower hose, it looks pretty good.

that is tomorrow's project. We have the lokar pedal that bolts to the firewall and has the harm sticking through the floor. we have to do some patch work first thought because this thing is eat up with rust on the floors.. this weekend it is going back to the painter to have the pans fixed
the lower hose is a Gates part number 21503 and I added it to the post with the hose in it so anyone else can see it easily too. thanks for pointing that out.. I'm updating here and on Dfwmustangs so I must have missed it here.

I've got a pair of NOS fiberglass fenders that I've been saving for years that would be perfect for this car. Also, heddman used to make some fenderwell LS swap headers for BRP that would be awesome on it if you can find a set. I've been looking for awhile with no luck yet. They stopped making them because of interference with the e-brake stuff, but I don't run one anyway.
I always wanted a bad 60 Sedan Delivery or El Camino (Or better yet, phantom 61's since they stopped production of both after 60) I need a tailgate for a 61 wagon if you hear of anything.

I did find one up in CA but it was not cheap and shipping would have been crazy

if one comes up I'll let you know.. but I beat the bushes trying to find one to use as a skin for the outside of this lift gate just incase the body guy couldn't fix it, which he did thankfully, and I couldn't find any good ones for a good price.
