Glamour Shots.. '62 Valiant Wagon

I got a few more things detailed and accomplished over the weekend:
I realized when looking at the last picture, the previous shop did not detail the fender tag for some reason, so it was a bit rusty and nasty looking, I blasted it and tossed some blue paint on the tag and the screws.
I also installed the steering column, and did some sheet metal work, as some thin spots were hiding behind the ~1/4 of the factory sound deadener in some places.
I cleaned up the bulkhead connector and detailed the original bulkhead retaining clips.
I also set up some new terminals on my refurbished parking light. - I bought an open-barrel crimper tool and some Packard-style open-barrel crimp terminals from the local auto electrical store to perform a re-termination using female terminals on my parking light. I found a terminal housing that matched the parking light on my "scrap car wiring haness" it was out of something like a '78 New Yorker or something like that, so it has a lot of these odds n ends for many '60's-'80's Chrysler vehicles in a pinch. I think it has been hanging behind the man door in the house garage area for 20 years. It's a part that keeps giving.
I ordered some new hood insulation and Retaining clips from DMT. That cleaned up nicely.
