These are the guages and valves that I have. I'm not 100% sure where I'm going to mount them yet.I do have an Empi guage panel that mounts under the ashtray that they may end up in. I dont want to cut the car to install them.

Here is one of the front air shock connections. I ran my air lines inside of 3/8 vinyl tubing anywhere it looked like they would be chaffed from vibration. I dont want to be stuck somewhere with a hole in my airline.

Started working on assembling the doors.Its not as bad as I thought it would be. I did find the outer scraper on the drivers door had a bad spot on the rubber and would not have prevented water from leaking in. I didnt see it till after it was installed. So I had to removed it and order another new one. Lesson learned...always check the parts you order as soon as they arrive.I had ordered the door rebuild kits a year ago so its out of any warranty.

installed the front turn signals and headlights. The front fenders are aftermarket so it was a challenge getting the headlights straight.
