Yesterday I spent a lot of time adjusting the fenders. Got the right side pretty good. Left side is not as good, but it's better than it was, and both doors open without scraping the fender. I think it'll do. Then I went through tightening all the fender bolts and adding the lower front braces.
Next I got into installing the fuel regulator. I never liked removing and replacing the mounting screws underneath if/when I need to remove it in the future, so I worked out a system on my Camaro that I duplicated here. I built a plate as an intermediate bracket. The regulator screws to that, and that in turn screws to the bracket from the top where it's easy to access.
This also mounts the regulator with all four screws instead of just two as with the supplied bracket. Then I worked out the shape of the bracket with a cardboard template and then cut it out from an aluminum sheet.
Here's the bracket installed and the fuel line trimmed.
Then I installed the regulator and a vertical brace to stiffen the assembly. Now it's just a matter of removing three screws from the top to remove the regulator.
Finally I added the sending unit for the pressure gauge and the fuel sample valve. I just need a little section of rubber hose to connect up the sample line. And I also added the starter solenoid as well.
