Yeah, I thought about putting the hood on but then I thought, "I already know it fits, minus the 1/8" thick mounting tape between body and frame, and I put a piece of that under the radiator tabs too... Why not get the hood and body painted, and do it once?"
Yesterday I ended the day with the E-brake handle installed again (had to remove it because it hit the body dolly ), with a bunch of up & down under the car. With a helper it's easy, "Hold that drivers side bolt on the floor with the allen wrench!", but working alone it's finding a way to wedge a chunk of 2x4 against a bolt head to stop the allen wrench. On the plus side, it just adds to the satisfaction when the bolt is tight! This morning was finishing the E-brake, which turned out great, then getting door gaps right which was a bunch more up & down on one side. Ended the day by getting the brake pedal back in, without having to loosen the exhaust which was a huge plus, so it's ready for fluid and bleed when the time comes.
My old bones are talking to me about all of the up & downs working under the car, but that's what keeps the old man out! Tomorrow is a new day, and I'm going to take stock of anything else that needs to be done, then start prepping the body for color.
Don't let the old man in!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
