Scott,
As always, everything looks super sanitary and impeccable. As Driven says, your outstanding attention to detail... I couldn't agree with him more. It will all show once the car is assembled. I kind of lack in that dept. :?
Glad to hear that you guys are enjoying mild weather. We've also been lucky in that respect, however, we are expected to get some cold weather coming our way.

Been working on the 63 Impala SS so I can get the blonde off my case. She's always complained that I only build cars, we never actually go for rides in them. So, when I built the 63 for a good friend and then ended up buying it, my caveat was we would drive the car some. So, that's what I've been working on. When the females aren't happy, there's no peace, figuratively and literally.
That said, and now that I'm picking up in the middle again, I’m trying to get some more of this “mundane, nobody’s gonna see it” stuff done. Yes, it’s important but it’s also not rocket science. Finally loaded the fuel tank with the sender, pump and pulsator. Now I need to get a couple of hoses made to connect the fuel tank to the chassis fuel lines.
Not a big deal, just costs a little because the hoses need to be custom made. In this case I don’t really even care what the crimps look like as no one will be able to see them under the fuel tank. The lines that run from the chassis to the engine, now that’s another story entirely.
Here’s all the pieces assembled. Fuel Sender, Fuel Pump, Pulsator Mount and Pulsator. It's not easy to see but there's a little piece that goes between the pulsator and the pump that helps the pulsator align better. Probably would work fine without it.
In the tank perspective short the pickup sock
Where the fuel lines attach to the chassis. The High Pressure rubber hoses help to dissipate some of the fuel pump pulsations. In my case, there'll be three sets of short high pressure shock hoses
Where the chassis attaches to the fuel tank
Fuel Sender orientation in the tank. These high pressure hoses are the GM hoses used at the junction between the chassis hard line and engine fuel system. These are just for orientation but the hose I will use will be the same only shorter. These are GM high pressure fuel hoses with O-Ringed fittings.
And for now at least, I rest my case. ...

Did you make the fuel lines yourself? Did you model the routing using the old stock lines? How about the short hoses to connect the tank to the body?
Yep, Sure did. Just used the old transfer lines as a pattern. What I've been doing lately is looking for the 14mm and 16mm fittings so I can have my custom length hoses made. Finally found what I think are the right pieces. Seems really ridiculous to buy hoses just to cut them up to get the fittings. I have a local hose joint that makes a nice crimp but they dont have the fittings.

iroc wagon you say.. Wouldn't want it any other way ..lol ... It's always fun making a wagon fast .. Sleeper I go to known import meeting areas and give them a little show .. Please post more pics in a fan of your work
