The outside paint is matrix paints. The painter decided on what he wanted to use and I gave him the okay.

I left the gas tank cover only partly on since I am not sure if I will have a problem with leaking or not.
Also, does the gas tank ground come from the dash harness or do I need to run a separate line for it? I do not have a dash harness yet.
I think I do though will not know for sure until I get the doors completely installed.
last night, I installed the grill moldings and the grill.

Sounds like you have a good game plan in place. Sorry I can't help out with the gas tank ground.
Slow but sure is a good thing while putting these projects back together. I've had my '71 for 14 years now and am still working on it and didn't even come close to the magnitude of your '62!
I'll be working on the '66 for years!
It's all fun.
