Thank you.

When I took the car apart (both times) I bag / blue tape the parts and take pictures so when I start putting the car back together I can go back and look at my pictures on the day I took the car apart. It helps jog my memory as it pretty much sucks since Chemo back in 2012.

Yes something is really really wrong with me

For mock up I am using this plastic reducer.

I can't wait till I don't have to touch this valve again.

Vintage Air Firewall Fitting (03-13-21)
 

I missed this one so I am going back to it.

Here is the ground stud that I will be using on the passenger side of the car. It goes directly to the battery and it will be also be a brass bolt.

Way back somewhere in this thread I put the part number for the machine washers that I am using on the inside of the firewall.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...0d1d300-me.jpg

All glued in and nice and tight.

Passenger Door Hinge Bushings, Yes I hate my life. (03-19-21)
 

This is those while I am here moments.

If you know what these are you now how much this project sucks.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...b9e3111-me.jpg

I made the right decision by buying the correct tool to remove the spring which made this a much easier task.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ddb9c6a-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a820fce-me.jpg

I also made sure I drilled reference holes so I could the hinges back in the same place once I removed them.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...6bc7dbd-me.jpg

New bushings installed and on to the next hinge.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a493f4c-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...7cd3060-me.jpg

Upper hinge should be much easier.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...5a22442-me.jpg

I have said a bunch of cuss words at this point.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...a0661d9-me.jpg

Back to Ace hardware...good news I found some chunky bars.

DEI Heat Sleeve on Transmission Lines ( 03-20-21 )
 

Since the transmission lines are close to the downpipe on the header I decided to wrap the lines in DEI Heat Sleeve.

Looking at these hard lines I now know that I am going to have to paint them.
Just one more thing to add to the never ending to do list.

Drivers Side Hinge - Ugh (03-21-21)
 

So this side didn't go as smoothly as the passenger side.

This tool is a life saver.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...fa6ec6d-me.png

Hinge is off and reference marks are set.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...dd7c2da-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...ce8cbb0-me.jpg

This side was not fun.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...46643ba-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...432a0f9-me.jpg

Both hinges are installed and lets just say the door is way off and I needed a break.

So I off to the taco joint!

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...e482623-me.jpg

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...3a6411e-me.jpg

I called it a night when I got home and I even broke my rule of cleaning up every night.

I needed something easy to do I made an AC line. (03-22-21)
 

Since yesterday didn't go so well I decided to make an AC Line.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...798e97e-me.jpg

I plan to crimp the fitting in the engine bay once I have all of the lines in the car.

Notch-Head Brake Line Clips (03-31-21)
 

Time to installed the Notch-Head line clamps. Drilling the hole in the frame with the itty-bitty drill bit is very very scary.

Misc Blue Tape Notes
 

So I started making notes on the car for things I need to address.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...053409b-me.jpg

I also need to plug this holes since I am planning on using the Wildwood electric parking brake calipers.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...293a8c8-me.jpg

I will be using this wire when I install the Fessler RS light in the RS modified upper valance.

http://www.garagescene.net/_data/i/u...25b8320-me.jpg

I also need to extend the line as my goal is to hide/clean up as much as of the wiring I can behind the grill.
