I'm really looking forward to seeing it all finished. Probably not as much as you though.

Exciting Progress!

Got the inner fenders cleaned, rust converted, and painted!

And after it dried came the fun stuff!!







I am very pleased, I think they came out fabulous!

That thing looks ready for a little jaunt down the road. Put some foam on the 5 gallon bucket and go for it! Just kidding, you are making great progress.

I am using mostly stainless, no kit. Every bolt is getting Neverseeze stainless or not! I am 90% stainless fasteners (engine kit too) except for some factory and/or hidden bolts I am reusing with Neverseeze. I want the option to take anything back apart easily later if so desired!!

Fender and grill bolt count

You could get dizzy counting bolts on these front end pieces! My count is:
Fender bolts (each fender)
- 3 on the door pillar (including bottom carriage bolt)
- 4 on the top to inner fender
- 1 bracket to the firewall (has 2 to fender 1 firewall)
- 5 to grill
- 6 to valence
- 4 to radiator support
- 2 to grill support rounded bracket
count = 25

Valence
- 9 to radiator support
​​​​​​- 10 to grill
Count = 19

Grill not mentioned above
- 4 to rounded support bracket (2 each)
- 2 to center support bracket
Count = 6

Here are current pics

Hey, those are very cool, and home made by family is even better! Very nice touch to the project!
