It's been a while since I've updated the post.
I've put about 400 miles on her and she runs like a scalded cat! I still have a few minor bugs to correct but nothing that's stopping me from driving. I even stopped in and filled up at a gas station for the first time the other day.

1000 mile check in.
1. Dragging brakes fixed - backed off on the rod between the master cylinder and the pedal
2. Tach fixed - needed resistor between the power and signal wire
3. Speedometer is still off
4. Electric fan fixed - issue with relay wiring
No power steering feels amazing, I am still really happy with it even on twisty roads when pushed hard. No power brakes is a little sketch when doing spirited driving - I will most likely be upgrading calipers or reducing the size of the master. I can't lock up the wheels and I don't have the confidence I want to late brake into a turn and know that the car will respond.

Thank you! The hood was something I slapped together from scrap parts in the last minute so i could drive it. I wish I put just a little more time in and made it a little cleaner. I still have the original white hood so there will be a round two at some point. Gold would look good... I'll have to keep my eyes open for some.
