68 4-door "Sleeper"

One of the center caps did not come with any self-tapping screws. Rather than send it back or complain, I thought it would be easier to just tap it and use some screws that I had laying around.


I am at a point where I don't know what to do next.

I think I am going to put in the engine (temporarily) to see what kind of clearances that I have. I am worried about:
  1. The brake booster. Will I be able to have one?
  2. Should I install the steering column and linkage BEFORE installing the engine? (Sort of leave them flopping)
  3. When do I install the headers? Should I finger-tighten them and put them in with the engine?
  4. Should I install the the steering column before or after I install the headers?
  5. Where is the best place to run the wiring to give the engine compartment a clean uncluttered look?
  6. Where can I "hide" the brake lines, so that they aren't so obvious when looking under the hood?

I never thought I would look forward to body work. :sad:
