I had some stuff sand blasted and I cleaned some up by hand.
Some parts are waiting for my painter, I'll rattle can the rest......

All the little stuff that has to be done...
The brake lines don't look like new, but they look much better!

Great work! Looks like you are going to be one happy camper when you get it finished. Going from a flat hood to a magnum hood takes a little getting used to. That bulge gets in your field of vision a bit more but its a nice thing to look at for sure!

If I got the car back Friday, which I didn't........ I'd have been driving Saturday AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!         NOT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

 I hope to get her back Monday or Tuesday, all wrenches will be set on RIGHTY TIGHTY!

 Man, it seems like there's a ton to do. But it's like Dave Ramsey says about eating an elephant, you do it one bite at a time.
Here's my '' to do '' list.
1. Front brake lines
2. Heater motor
3. Wiper Motor
4.  new wire loom clips
5  steering box
6.  steering column
7.  power brake booster and reservoir
8. Horns
9. battery holder
10. MOTOR ! ! !
11. radiator
12. transmission
13. drive shaft
14. ? ? ? ?
Does this look about right?

MMMM,   While the Drive-train is out I'd have to pull the K-frame, clean & paint, replace all the bushings if you have not already.  Would take another week but you will not have a better opportunity.   :2cents:        Looking Good  :bigshades:
