Default Got a lot done today...

Wiper arm and blades installed.
Wiper door installed.
New heater hoses and fender clamps.
New radiator hoses with vintage clamps.
Ignition sheilding, with new manifold bolts.

I tried to reinstalled the door locks, but it looks like someone installed the lock rods backwards. Now I have to completely remove the other side now.

All I got left before cruise season is:
Rear spring, shocks, and e-brake hardware. I'm hoping I can wrap that up this week after work.

I'll take some pics tomorrow.

That's pretty good for one day! It's been a long winter and I too am ready for the crusing weather. Can't wait to see your pics!

Before

After a little work. New hoses, air cleaner, ignition sheild, splash sheilds, etc. Motor still needs to be painted, but that can wait to a later date.

Sounds good. I got absolutely nothing done on anything today. Just a lazy day around the house, the weather sucked.

Looks great! I did not get much done, just one small thing but wow it made a big difference. I put on a new set of lug nuts on my aluminum wheels and replaced the originals which had rusted and peeled. It is amazing what 30 minutes and a set of lug nuts can do to the appearence of a car!
