Fix package tray loose screw on the dash.
Check driver side brake line fittings for leaks.
Add weather grommets for the bumpers.
Clean grill, bolts and spacers.
Paint back of front license plate frame.
Check wiring on voltage regulator and check wiring for car once more.
Install the distributor correctly and coil plus route wires.
Install the ignition shielding once more.
Polish top ignition shielding.
Install the wiper switch once more.

I like working off a list. You just check each item off as you go. I just got my 66 coupe back from Santini's bodyshop in Westminster Ca. today and I'll start installing the brightwork this weekend. I'm also installing a delfi 600 steering gear. I'll explain what happened and post some before and after pics in another thread next week.
