Hi
Got some time to remove the right rad support panel and replace it with one for a 26" radiator.
I started to clean out all of the sand and found another huge mouse nest in the lower rocker quarter panel area, had to drill a hole in the wheel house to get all of the debris out.
Wasn't wild about drilling a hole in a perfectly good panel :swear: but at least it's out!

Hi Everyone
With the holiday coming up I sent everyone home early on Wednesday and this gave me some time to get work done on my car.
Here are some pictures of what is done so far. Since the replacement parts didn't make it I won't get as far as I had hoped for the weekend :walkaway:
Hope everyone had a great turkey day! I know it's a little hard for me to get moving today!

Thanks
 How did that exhaust manifold work out for you? I know it was going to take a while with shipping, you got it OK?

just thought that i would throw in my   :2cents: on the color, im a fan of the darker color. i have a lighter burnt orange on the back half of my car, damage repair, and the darker on the front and i definately like the front better, when the sun hits it, it changes to a bright beautiful color.

 :iagree: I modified a color to get this actual color when in the sun. The color looks much lighter in the sun. The new color will look like the shadowed color in the undercarriage picture.

Got a parts delivery today! While I  was out to lunch the guy's decided to empty the box and see how I would react  :scared:
Their all fired now so I guess I need a new crew. :smilielol:
Just kidding I'll get them though!
Anyway,we installed the floor in the hole. I really didn't want to remove the tail panel and with a little persuasion it went in. Here are some pictures.
