It's coming right along there .Steve Simmons wrote:A little more progress I forgot to report from last week. I found a replacement grill for far less than it would cost to salvage what I had. Plus, I now have the stainless steel surround piece. I still need the center strip but that will come later.
The lower panels are a bit tweaked as are the left inner and outer fenders, so I can't quite get it all to line up. I'll probably leave that to a professional because I don't want to screw up those pieces. I can see them cracking because of all the compound curves.

They call it the oil manifold, don't ask me why. Those little metal pieces are baffles to control the oil flow back to the sump.
That would just take away from the patina.max71 wrote:Please tell me you took the time to repaint the engine bay before you put the engine back in ...![]()
Otherwise, congrats!
