Got the rear brake lines ran along with the arb line and the line protected from heat and ran to where it will enter the cab.

I got the electrical center finalized and added mounts for the circuit breakers that will be used for the high output stuff.

So it took a bit of work and was certainly in a pretty confined area but I got the electrical center done. I did forget one circuit that I will add in this weekend but its pretty much done in here. I always build and then add fiuses per each system to test and verify.....

So I got a bunch of stuff put into the car--center console/dash/switch pod and shifter. The shifter took a bit of work. I first found the backup lamp switch brackets on the shifter housing was binding up the shift cable. Once I got that fixed up it was a matter of figuring out the needed process to get the shifter into place--should be easier next time.

With those items in I was able to start throwing voltage and was happy with the interior lighting...

I got the air system all plumed and finished. I ran the pump and found a damn leak. Well low and behold both the arb solenoids were leaking. I suspect they had been leaking for some time as my old york seemed to come on too often. Got them both replaced and the system fully functions nicely.
