...thanks, and yah I'll definitely keep going - I've wanted a bigger silly abusable 4-door version of my dad's 52 Willys M-38 for years, and this is it, both in form and primitive function, and to achieve that goal I'm trying really hard to have the custom parts look more like decent fabrication and less like fabricobble...fortunately thick paint helps a lot

...high pressure fuel filter is mounted in place on a removable bracket allowing it to hover just above the sending unit while also being neatly under the trap door, which I will raise up just about half inch to give plenty of clearance, both easily accessible from the floor hatch - just remove the right-rear seat and the hatch is right 'there' -






removable bracket to allow for removing the sending unit - works great -




removed a bit more from the floor -



and will clearance this lower part just a bit more -


Then mocked up the fuel lines and set the body on to check things out - pic from under the center console - sure is nice to be able to set the body on for fitment - noticed 'interference' between the projected fuel line route and outboard Atlas shift rod and cut yet another access port to enable me to maintain things that much easier -

...made a couple adjustments, and here's the layout. Both the feed and return are 5/16 EFI fuel hose from the tank to the throttle body, double wrapped first with DEI Vapor Block (pics) and then an outer heat shield from wherethehellever...




...and in the meantime...we have to have a new leach field put in...and they needed fill dirt...and we just happened to have a little project out back we wanted to do...so they helped us out by digging our giant hole...and we saved a bunch of $ on fill dirt - so now we have this to play in next to the rock pile



look close - there's a JKU on 37s in there...
