While the car’s been in the shop, I’ve been stockpiling parts. I’ve got basically everything needed to complete the brakes, HVAC, fuel system, chassis and engine wiring, wheels/tires, cooling system, transmission cooling lines and shifter, accessory drive, etc. I had them fit the front windshield/trim, headlight bezels grill and bumpers. Ended up buying a couple different core supports to get one that fit decent and had to modify the new hood where the hinge bolts up on one side because it was made like crap. At one point we even stuck the GM hood back on I bought that turned out to be garbage. Also had to cut the headlight bucket mounting brackets off both new fenders and reattach them in the proper location so things fit right. Up to this point, I’d had pretty good fortune with the repop metal but it all caught up to me on the front end! It’s mo better now, though…
