Progress!
Shocks and knuckles are just mocked up, as I'm getting slightly longer and heavier springs, and I need my custom brake caliper brackets to come in from Send Cut Send so that I can weld them on and finish that out, but the rest is "final" installed.
I also changed out the firewall pass throughs to use quick disconnect cables instead of the previous cable gland setup:

Looking good! I like how you have the plumbing tucked into the back corners of the firewall. Very clean.
I’ll be interested to see what you think of that front clip. I haven’t heard much about it before.Stephen S.

Thanks all!
The tucked plumbing was required as the engine is literally up against the firewall. I have 1/8" from the rearmost point of the engine (MMR oil crossover) to the firewall, so it's SNUG. Looking nice was a good side effect though! :D
I'm finishing installing my custom brake caliper brackets (adapting Wilwood 6 pots to Corvette style knuckles) tonight, then I need to drill/tap my exhaust manifolds for EGT sensors (adding 8x EGTs for tuning, mostly because I'm curious of cylinder/cylinder behavior). Hoping to reinstall in the engine this weekend. Once that's done I still need to:
1. Build new lower radiator hose
2. Build radiator shrouding for sides of radiator
3. Build skid plates and lower radiator shroud
4. Finish mounts for radiator fan
5. Build "hot side" of the charge pipes
6. Finish turbo oil feeds
7. Update exhaust between turbos and mid-pipes under car
8. Touch up a few wires under the hood
9. Install bracket for hydraulic hand brake
10. Plumb hydraulic hand brake
11. Build new center console to clear hydraulic hand brake
12. A bunch of stuff I'm forgetting on this list...1988 Mazda RX7 - Forged LS/T56, 76mm turbo, ProEFI, Ford 8.8 - Sold
