Thanks Dean! On the gas tank straps, I have the correct ones -- they were easy enough to figure out wink

I've been looking at a LOT of pictures on line -- those classic car dealers are great because they post a lot of pictures of even the basket cases/barn finds. I've identified a lot of stuff so far just by studying a lot of those detailed photos. I may need Lurch to help me put all the radiator pieces together... a few pictures of all of that would probably be helpful to determine which pieces to start running through the blast cabinet and which ones don't belong.

I've started wondering if I have car-specific parts thrown in here ....

At the moment, the chassis is serving as a workbench. As you can see in the pictures, I have all my drip pans on it holding parts and a pallet. Slowly, I am cleaning it off as I identify and organize parts back into bins. One of the big things I'm jazzed about is the bed hardware -- but I'll save that for a later journal entry...

Are there any go-to vendors besides The Filling Station and ebay for parts?
