So as things go this week was a set back. I left the base coat of POR15 on the frame exposed to the elements for to long and had to recoat it, no real problem just time. I worked at it a couple of evenings and now have it ready to top coat. The plan is to complete the top coat this weekend and allow the finish to cure before I start bolting the chassis back together.
I spent a couple of hours on some small parts. I painted the front brake calipers with Dupli-Color Ceramic Caliper paint. Now I know that with my choice of wheels no one will ever see them, but I know their painted.
I ordered a couple of parts as well, the clutch set from Jegs, a street performance set that should work well with the 327 and Muncie. I also ordered a Tack, a Bosch retro, styled after the 60's Sun Tach's. I'll use this on the engine panel when I start the engine and later mounted on the dash as my Dad's was.
