| The ToDo list at the start of the day... |
 |
| Back onto this stubborn splash shield bolt... |
 |
| Finally! TaDa. |
 |
| The keys and paint came in the mail from Texas. |
 |
| The tire tub lid. Great condition, but that "V" should be semi-gloss black. |
 |
| Not dark gray. |
 |
| New discovery. Notice the two brackets in the middle of the photo? That's the headlamp support rod on the passenger side. There should be a bolt connecting the rod to the headlamp support. Grrrrr. Looks like the paint shop missed that. |
 |
| The driver-side had the bolt (and lockwasher), but they were barely threaded together. We got that one tightened up. |
 |
| Speaking of forgetting things. I forgot to add the license plate frames when I installed the plates yesterday. Got that resolved. |
 |
| Checking the pre-start voltage w/the cigarette lighter voltmeter. |
 |
| We shot the tire tub "V" black and installed it. |
 |
| Notice the rivets on the "V" appear painted, but shouldn't be. Ready? |
 |
| Bam! We Vaseline'd them prior to spraying the "V." Then it wipes right off. |
 |
| Well, in addition to the above, we also installed the spare tire lid hardware, spent a bunch of time on the headlight bucket, adjusted the choke, tightened up the E-brake, installed the radiator support bracket, F.I. choke hose, greased the inner tie rods, pulled the front/pass. wheel to check the wheel cylinder, and finalized the exhaust. Awesome day! |
