Awesome looking solve. I am very 3d modeling curious after seeing you crank out a bunch of these parts.
I'll be interested to see where you end up here. The 80 box is the same quicker ratio, and beefier, but same basic design as the 62 box. I swapped an 80 box in and after new and adjusted drag...
Zero personal experience, but had this saved regarding sway bars on 80 rears. This is how Tor set up one he built.

Love the speed of your progress on this. You’re absolutely crushing it. And I’ll vote for routing the harness on the intake. Looks so much cleaner that way.
Feels good knowing it’s sealed up back there. I swapped a 60 fender onto my 62 so had to weld my 62 headlight bracket onto the 60 fender. They’re ever so slightly different.
I’ve got a pic somewhere comparing them. I’ll see if I can find it.
Finally had time to wrap up this fender swap. Color is a touch creamier than the rest of the rig, but once it gets some sun/dirt/snow/salt on it hopefully it will be less noticeable. When I did my gutters I had a can of paint mixed based off of my gas filler door and it looks exactly the same as...
Still working on the DBC CC. I honestly haven't had time to dig into it yet, but I wired it in based on the below resources when I put my harness together. My relays are clicking with my toyota cruise stalk, so I've got an issue in my servo unit or wiring. We'll see.
From my non-working-CC...
Solid progress. I did the same as @BurntToast and yanked the unused. I un-loomed the big bundle underneath the dash and pulled all the EFI stuff out from the ecu plug end. Slow going by checking the plug schematic, then confirming continuity from the plug to the other end of the wire, then...
Feels great to get all that wiring out. When I did my swap I ended up pulling my dash to get it all out without cutting. Definitely added a lot of time, but I’m glad I did it.
Not sure if you've seen it already, but @Bullzi has some really good documentation on the inner fenders and cowl. Inner fender bit is here.
I had what sounds like similar-ish damage on mine as well from a PO and am mid fix right now. Following.
