Reassembly continues...

Sunday was my birthday and for my birthday I got some garage time! It was cold and the wind picked up in the afternoon, but I was able to get the A/C condensor mounted in place.

Next I added the nose/header panel. I had to file down the one fender extension to square up the mounting point. After some tweaking, adjustments and a bunch of adjustments I got the hood on and with a pretty good fit.






A few things left to do in preparation for paint:

1) A few more touch ups to finish the body work.
2) Sanding the door jambs.
3) Paint the underside of the hood.

Number three will involve cleaning, priming and painting with Eastwood Products Chassis Black. I have opted to do this instead of painting body color on the underside of the hood. This way I don't have to worry about taping off hinges or overspray in the engine compartment. Hopefully I can have everything set for when the weather breaks and things warm up.
