And the inside, too, with the wires connected. I had some challenge deciding which gray wire was which since the stripes on both gray wires were pretty much gone.

And I got the front right turn signal bucket installed and connected. As soon as I get the right screws I will install the lens.

Getting ready to take another batch of parts to the powder coat shop. I will have them do the engine lid and side panels in satin black. Of course, in removing the letters I broke off a couple of studs.

Another different task: back to the front brakes. I installed the flex lines.

And then mounted the calipers temporarily so I could adjust the fit of the hard line.

Trial fit the pop-up lid and see how it lines up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


Good idea, Mark. Here's how it looks--probably OK.

Funny how in sync our builds are. I'm just finishing up a video on this. I now not only have car-envy, but gap envy as well. your car is super straight. As you know by now, those brackets have a little play in them so you can line things up. Check the gap against the hood in the down position as well. Also put the brow in and make sure there's enough clearance before tightening the brackets.

Good idea on checking the gaps with the eyebrows. But the real test will be on the right side where I replaced the headlight bucket and front half of the inner fender. Once I get the missing pivot I can install the headlight carrier and check.

The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

Correct! Once you identify your addiction, it is possible to move away from it.

I might bet a good percentage of us are in the same boat
