Back on the door panels

I set up a table so I can easily work on them.

Need go modify a couple bolts

Time to see how close or far off the door handle hole is.

Once again I ran the bolts in from the backside so I could get an idea as to how far off they are.

The modified ARP bolts worked.

Door handle is in.

I am going to need to get a hold of D&R Classics as I can't seem to find the door handle escutcheons.

I put the battery on the charger so I could start it up net weekend. It took about 20 hours to get to a full charge.

Back out in the garage tonight working on the passenger side door panel.

My new work table

Working on the water shield.

To make my life easier I raised the car and I was even able to set up a chair so I could sit and work on the door panel.

I am using the Eastwood Flexible Strip Caulk Bk 2lbs

I found this to be the best way to smooth out the caulk strips.

Added another strip to the top of the door.

I also added a little bit of Gorilla Tape.

Back out the garage I go.

Opps looks like I missed a nut .

Six months from now I am going to no clue where this wire goes to so once again I am adding a label.

Went for Tacos and I decided to go back out in the garage.

I noticed my battery shutoff wasn't working correctly and I think I found the problem. This is supposed to be perfectly flat
and as you can see it is bent which most likely was from me bending negative battery wires terminal.

I was temporarily able to straighten it and problem is solved and a new one is on order.

Hand is healing.

I have an Optima Red Top. Hopefully I won’t need to invest in the charger to get mine fired up.

Loving the progress and updates, Marty!

You should get one of these chargers regardless, the new optimas are not as good as the old ones, and you should use these charges if you leave the car sit for any amount of time.

Drivers Side

Getting a bunch of little stuff done today was the goal.

I picked up some OER Kick Panels from D&R Classic the other day and today I am going to modify
them to fit. I can say these are a very nice piece and I highly recommend them.

Need to make sone modifications so I can get them in.

Test fitting and they fit exactly how they are supposed to fit. Now I just need to make the modification needed so they work
around all of the wiring that I have added to this area.

Love this tape.

Cut Notes

I am going to take a little bit more off this side.

Once I am happy I will put some Tech-Flex wrap around these wires.

Passenger Side

As you can see there will be more cutting on the Passenger side.

I still need to clean up the back side

Test Fitting

First Cut

then some more

Test Fitting

Need to remove a little bit more.

Looking much better

and were taking off some more

It's hard to tell but I lowered the tap again and made a new cut line.

Cutting is complete !!!!

I plan to fill in the holes and then drop these off at Mr Trim's so they can wrap them in leather.

Today was a very weird day as this was my 11 year chemo start date anniversary and I really didn't feel like working on the
car so I decided to go out and look for the Holley EFI communication cable that I misplaced and whatever else I could find.

I spent an hour cleaning up and organizing parts and pieces and then I found the Holley Cable on the wiper cowl.

Which of course was right in front of my face the entire time.

I put the Anvil Radiator cover on and wow is this a nice piece.

Made Remy new napping place and I think he likes it.

Found my hood hinges that Pro-Tek Powder Coating did for me many years ago. They are coated in dust (top rack in my warehouse)
and since I don't need them now they are going to stay right where they are.
