[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 228469, member: 1906"] Hey guys, Weekly update! I got my new 8AN PTFE fuel lines last Friday and routed them into place. I dressed them in the engine bay with some aluminum hose clamps. I also reran the pump fuel power wire as I had poorly routed it the first time. I installed some wire loom over it then routed it to follow my new fuel lines all the way back to the tank. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I also cleaned and painted all of my crash protection bumpers with POR15 and zero rust. I got some new Grade 8 hardware and installed some of it back onto the car. After I was done that I finished up my fiberglass repair on the rear deck. I filled the deep holes from the luggage rack with some chopped up fiberglass and resin then applied two layers on glass over it. On the antenna holes and front inner luggage rack holes I applied just 2 layers over top. The antenna holes have a total of 5 layers, the deeper luggage rack holes have 4 years and a thick layer of chopped fiberglass in the holes. The thinnest area are the two inner holes closest to the rear bumper. I wasn't able to get underneath those holes because of the bonding strip so they have 4 layers on top. Right now I'm razor blading the body and once I'm done that I will cut the rear quarter panels off and install the new panels. Hopefully the rear quarter panels will be on in the next post! I've also decided to go with a rear wing on the build so I will be ordered that next week! I'll post a picture with a concept drawing I did of what it should look like. In the next post I'll also be posting some links to a video with a little bit of the process or razor blade scrapping next week. [/QUOTE]
