Default more work completed this weekend.....

Got some parts back from the plater so I went to work correcting some of the brake line clips per Lloyd's suggestion and also "gun-blued" the drag link per 32KZ's suggestion. Also buttoned up the brake hoses going to the calipers. Started disassembling the steering column, documenting a few of the date codes along the way. Also got back my Hurst 3138 shifter parts - just need to put it back together

Default weekly update....

Some more detail stuff.....Cleaned up the door hinge bolts and strikers, uncovered the original LB paint on them. Original floor pan plugs have been re-finished, and got the shifter reassembled. Many thanks to Eric D. (Crash) on this site for posting the YouTube video on shifter re-assembly! Also dunked the original parking brake assembly in evaporust and shot it with Boeshield. The black paint has a few scratches but decided to leave it original.

Those parts turned out great! Do you have a link to Crash's YouTube shifter rebuild video?

Nice work. What type of plating did you use on the shifter?

Default Rags to riches.....

More detail stuff. Restored the original rag joint, before/after pics, pretty happy with the results.

The floor drain plates look great. Is that finish actual spangle galvanize?
