Yesterday I picked up the new front brake shoes and today I ordered the last of what I think I need for parts - the rear trunk panel and cove trim along with the bench seat shifter boot and ring.

The trim is on it's way back to me - sneak peak pic from the restorer Gordon Duda.......before and after side by side.
Still working on finding an anodizer. Did some detail work on the hub assemblies last night. Little by little...

Seat trim showed up today - looks great. The 4th piece I have and is NOS so it didn't need to be restored.

Connected with the anodizer yesterday and will deliver parts to him when he returns from the Mopar Nationals in 2 weeks.
The guy I got the original group of parts from found and restored a correct master cylinder with the correct screw top, so I got that bought today as well. Making progress.......

Still waiting on seat cover and headliner. Carpet came in, haven't stopped to see it yet.
We were down at Mom's for the annual family reunion this weekend and I had some time Sunday morning so I tested the NOS temp gauge I got from Tony this spring. These things run warm as it is and I wanted to be able to keep tabs on it. Given the age of the NOS gauge I thought it prudent to make sure everything was in order prior to installing. Took one of Mom's candy thermometers and boiled some water. Gauge checks out OK. I was able to find a proper bracket from Summit to install - so now I just need to get 'er done. Was able to take the car for a 20 mile ride and topped of the tank with some fresh fuel. Baby steps.......
