Sort of has the old Sox&Martin race team look in that picture.

Weekend Update: Worked on some more small bolt on parts today. Floor pan plugs all dated H37 - same as some of the other sheetmetal on the car. ZL-2 throttle arm cleaned up good as did the rear axle snubbers and brackets. Kind of a weird group of stamping marks on the snubber brackets - more pronounced on one bracket vs the other. All these parts and original bolts will go back on the car.

Default Now we're getting somewhere....

underside got some color this week. Most of you will recognize the photos taped to the firewall....I told the shop to duplicate the color and overspray patterns of Grady's car as I really liked how that one turned out and it was very close to what I found when I hand-stripped mine. Should get body paint next week.

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?
