Lookin good! What are you doing up at 4am? I'm no where near that dedicated!
 
Assembling different parts that I have on hand ie: door handles, mirrors , temp senders , trunk seal , rad etc. Sprayed Krown inside all frame rails and all other places hidden from sight. Waiting on an order from Classic Industries so just filling in with parts and pieces that have no bearing on the rest of the assembly.

A few parts assembled. Carb throttle cable with a 20-67 machined to fit factory cable end , Lokar trans dipstick with plastic spacers attached to the firewall, pvc valve / hose assembled. Another week or so before the mother load of parts get here from classic.

Beautiful work! I may be speaking out of turn but if you have rubber isolators on the motor mounts and trans support are you worried the dipstick is fixed to the firewall?

Not really , with the way its mounted there is enough slack for considerable movement.
 
I gotta say Classic Industries did a great job of packing all the parts and the quality of the parts seem very good just quickly looking things over.
 
Threw in the fuel filler neck today with the gas cap that my youngest son machined for me a few years ago . Looks wicked ! The problem will be keeping an eye on it so it won't disappear.
