Finally got some work done the past week or so since its warmed up a bit.

Got the fenders on last week and today put the front splash apron on along with the bumper. (those odd bolts are temporary)!!
After that I just couldn't leave the shop without putting in at least one headlight assembly! Gosh, all those parts I ordered years agoo are finally getting used up!!

Not sure how I'm gonna like the cream back bars on the grille now that I have it in but I'll see after I look at it a few days. If I don't like it I'll paint it body color.

Alvin,

Your panel look real nice.

What type of finish did you use on the hood springs?

Dang alvin thats purdy right there! you got quite the little shop i see as well!
Thans again for the window frame advise. I ended up using the 3M window weld tube. stuff worked great. made mounting the windows so darn easy!

heres a couple pics of the one your lights went on. this was right before it went to the electrician for final wiring. should be back from upholstery friday.

Fabulous Alvin, real sharp! Best of luck with the hood. I also have the back bars on the grille in gray. I have no problem with your grille, hope you can be happy with it. As Tim says, bring it to KC.

Thanks guys. I sent the PO a picture of it and he just couldn't believe it. His lose my gain,right smile

Marc, those lights look nice...sort of makes me wish I had used them!!!... but I going to use two 6 1/2" LED's, one under each rear door.
Right now the plan is to wire it up in the next two to three weeks and I've also got a couple brake (new) line problems to deal with.
Last Wednesday I poured a couple gallons of gas in the new gas tank, with sta-bil mixed in it, and started it up. Checked all the rebuilt guages and they work!!! Also checked the tranny & speedo while it's up on jack stands. All checked out nice.

I plan to go to the salvage yard,LKQ, and pick me out a set of bucket seats, for $28 each, and then to the upholstery shop for the overhead and sides....if my plans go like I want them to.
I'll keep you posted guys.

Oh, Dakota, I'll have to built a bigger shop to get the 2 ton!!
(& thanks for the headlight housing)

Bowtietim, I sure would love to drive it to Kansas. We'll see how things work out. The little windshield fiasco on my 37 set my plans back a little....or should I say a lot...of $$. Ouch!

Tim, I painted the hinges Rustoleum Hammertone Silver.

Thanks again for your kind words fellows. It give me courage to open the shop doors again...and again! I'll keep you posted.

I think you need to drive it to KC too, if that helps influence your decision.
