May I suggest first make the car roll on its wheels.=C2=A0 That means all c=
hassis components and brakes along with all the brake tubing.That makes it =
able to move around and have the parking/emergency brake functional to hold=
 it in place where ever it needs to be.After that sticking the has tank in =
and all the wire harness.=C2=A0 =C2=A0My only reason for that is the fact t=
hat a lot of interior & under hood components go over the spots where the h=
arness runs.=C2=A0 It's very annoying to stick the harness in after any int=
erior is in or the heater and the stuff that goes on the right inner fender=
 / footwell make careful installation a bit difficult for the thicker bundl=
es of wires.=C2=A0At this point it starts to become a piece by piece reasse=
mbly project.Be certain to do all the under hood clutch & brake & fuel plum=
bing before you entertain installation of the motor & transmission!=C2=A0=
=C2=A0After reassembling Frank's race car from what was a rolling shell tha=
t needed ALL the suspension & steering removed in order to make it a car ag=
ain....=C2=A0 Well I had a few things that got in the way of this or that a=

=C2=A0I should have completely dismantled it and started with a bare shell!=
ChuckBedn there fixed that...broke it ...fixed it again!
