lamin8r, I can see where that would look great on bumpers and all. Pretty rich looking white.
Thanks Ken. Yeah, the car was all together once, so things are going back together relatively easy. Dan also was good about welding nuts and tapping threads into inaccessible places, so we aren't having to stand on our heads too much to get bolts in. He also allowed some extra clearance for when the parts were powdercoated and painted so they would still slip in place. He also drilled some small alignment holes some of the brackets so we could just put a pin in there and the alignment was right back to where it needed to be. Took some time initially, but is paying dividends now.
We had to tweak one door hinge a little last night to get the door to fit right, but nothing major. Evidently, the DP90 and SEM Hot Rod Black are pretty durable because even reshaping the hinge with a rag covered block of wood and a hammer didn't even scratch it all all.
One thing that is really helping is having the cowl cover off. It makes it so much easier to reach down through that opening to install all the underdash stuff, than standing on your head like I have to do on my 23 and 27. What we are going to try to do is have the cab as a completed unit, wiring and all, before we drop it down on the frame.
