Thanks Pete and Brad! Glad you like the new look. I'm almost there! I have a couple more things to finish before the body is ready to go back on..
1. Install New Torque Converter
2. Install clamps on the hoses that connect fuel & brake lines together along the frame rail
3. Test fit the Radiator Core and Radiator
4. Connect Radiator hose and make sure it clears the fuel line. I might have use a custom "univesal" "kind of fits" hose.
However, the body is officially in what we call paint jail. They have had it for over a year now and it's not like there was a ton of body work that needed to be done.. It actually worked out for me because I wasn't ready for the body to go back on yet anyways.
Here are some pics of the body. The rear passenger side quarter panel was a lot of work to straigten out and fix the lip of the curve at the wheel well. They still have some work to do to make it right, but progress is being made for sure. The dash in the radio was repaired and the guy did an amazing job. We used a dash repair panel and cut out the section highlighted in red. Instead of cutting out the whole center part of the dash, this saves the structural integrity of the dash by using just cutting the center piece out.
