What's left? This pile of parts, and the tail stripe, are the remaining items left:

Master Cylinder, Radiator, and wiper blades.

WOOHOO!!!!

Hmmm....I do have a few phone photos I can share to keep the suspense of this Epicable thread going! Before I left I had to buff da butt one more time in preps for the stripe to go on. So, easy enough to do right? Just center up the Bee over the side reflector and stick on! Whoa...whoa...whoa.... not so fast, Potsie.

In keeping with Mopars being that much more complicated, there actually is a slight offset of the stripe when it comes to it being centered in that marker light hole.

more on this when I get to installing it. But I did come home unexpectedly on this long group of days and was able to get the freshly restored radiator installed!

I'll have to get the cameras rollin' this week. Maybe I can turn this thread into Video form?!? Oh boy... for the sake of humanity....I better not. Happy weekend!

You know? The funny thing about work is that sometimes they want you to work. I keep telling them I don't have enough time to do this, AND work on my cars! But for some reason, they told me I could have all the I wanted to work on cars, but don't expect to actually WORK here anymore.

So, knowing I'm not going to win that battle and the one pays for the other, I felt I better actually go to WORK for the people that pay me. So that's what I've been doing, and it's been slow going in the shop. But fear not! The restored 054 radiator is in and the newly sleeved and rebuilt master cylinder is hooked up awaiting a brake bleed. So the brakes and a stripe and the Beater Bee is officially done! I'm hoping it'll be this month.... even though it was supposed to be last month!
But that's ok....I really have until November

Cheers

Serious question.

Will we get to see a pic or video of the remake of this image?
