Details 98...

Have had somewhat of a necessary break in progress the past few weeks as I've had to stay home and keep an eye on my Mom who is slowly slipping away from us. But there has been some progress and I was able to go over and do a bit of work on the Tomato....

Last weekend at home, I was able to get all the necessary pieces to assemble my temporary heater bypass hose...

and this weekend I was able to finally heat shrink the hose clamp and get the hose loosely fitted to the engine...

dry fit the driver side wheelhouse to the fender to get an idea of what hardware I need...

painted the wheelhouse to fender washers...

blasted, wire wheeled and got the first coat of bluing on the headlight adjustment springs...

and cruise control mounting bracket nuts...

and got a coat of chassis black on the backside of the headlight buckets and grill header panel.

This week I'll order the necessary hardware I'll need to get the fenders, headlight buckets and header panel remounted to the car and I'll be one step closer to turning her back over to the body shop for final bodywork and paint!

Stay tuned...
