Are you familiar with the spirit lines that Navajo weavers weave into the edge of their rugs? A little flaw that allows the soul that the weaver put into the work to find a path home so it isn't trapped. Your car is so perfect, you might want to think about adding a spirit line.

@bbrock I am now! I've got a few spirit lines on the car, just not posting any close ups of those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Love the pics on your wiring harness, very well done!

How did you like the fit of the new oil cooler gasket. It should grab the sheet metal better to stay on while installing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

After a 14 month slumber, GA004853 roared back to life and ran nice and smooth. New Sachs Clutch kit has been installed & balanced and she's off the motor stand. Now getting ready to re-install!

Some before and after pics for dramatic effect!

looking great!! its nice to meet goals and hit milestones! you know its getting close when the motor goes in!
make sure you have good ground on the alternator! i found that out the hard way after it was all in and done. if paint on the fan housing is too thick it wont ground well thru the case .
Where did you get the NOS wiper assemblies?? i would love to source a set .
this is going to be a very nice , top 10 restoration for sure!

Now the drive train and fuel system can be installed along with the windshield. I hope things will move quickly from this point forward!

Finally received the 50mm diameter vent to mixing box hoses from @mikey914 along with the wiper hose kit. Fuel tank that I picked up from @burton73 is now installed as well. Happy to be finally done with the frunk junk aspect of this project!

beautiful job! Your car's brother just arrived here Saturday for a complete reassembly. Do not particularly like the polish on the wheels, but that was the owner's choice.
