Original Power Steering Pressure hose which I replated the fittings.
FWIW there was someone on the CRG board about 5-10 years ago who made a set of dies for making the correct CRIMP on the Air Conditioning Pressure Hoses. The dies were made from an old set of weatherhead dies If I am not mistaken. I sold the hose fittings and machines to crimp hydraulic and pressure lines 15-18 years ago, this is something which could be accomplished "fairly" easily.

Really enjoying the progress on this car! Can't wait to see it all together...
Couple of minor tidbits to mention. My 02A 73Z still has the original 854 battery cable. Yours might be one of the last of the 855's that were used, or perhaps they just installed a leftover cable that was still a correct fit? Also, I believe the Z87 splash shield on the side of the cowl gets installed on the front side. Mine was upon disassembly. I'm sure others could chime in and verify if it should be that way... Keep going !!

Seen a few cars where the straps are the body color, based on having the Z21 option. Search the topics at Nasty Z28 as it was discussed in length a few years back.
