So got some quotes from one of the shops i emailed this past weekend about buttoning up the car once the engine was in...
$500 to bend and install the brake lines
$300 to install the ratchet shifter
$3000 to install my Ron Francis wiring kit
Pure insanity but I'm sure the old guys that have more money than time pay it all the time. Definitely not going that route and will be finishing this thing myself it looks like. Found a really good way to simplify my brakelines by going through the inner fenders. Originally I was just going to drill a hole and use a grommet but the only grommets I found that would work were $18 a piece and I need 4. Going to buy some -3AN to 3/16 flare bulkhead adapters so I don't have to worry about the hardline rubbing against any sheetmetal at all. This will allow me to run a braided flex line from the outside of the inner fender straight to the caliper and not have to bend the hard-line down and around the frame rails.

Just need a set of -3 AN to Banjo braided brake hoses and I should be in business. Since it seems pointless to continue rushing this build only to have it done in the middle of winter I'm thinking of saving up for the front brake kit and doing that all at once. If it pushed the build back a month, it really doesn't matter at this point.
