Hey, that hollow battery box idea has potential!

Wet sanding and buffing done, got the dash frame back in the car so I can install the radio and hook it into a sound bar that will sit on top of the rear deck for testing. Then I will install the climate control, gauges, ducts and duct hoses, put the glove box back together, mount the steering...

Thanks for your comment Dan, I got three coats of clear coat sprayed on the dash frame and parts over the Christmas/New Years holiday, still need to finish sand and buff it out.

Photos of the pump being installed, housing with pump, lines and a (dusty) plexiglass cover installed.

Ended up welding the fuel pump housing in place.
