Ryan: So excited for you. What a great thread, great car for a great family guy.
It will take a LOT more than a restored wiper motor and plate to put this car to shame. Looking forward to the first drive.

Lots of progress this weekend.
Horns restored and installed. Rad side tanks painted gloss black, side seals installed, rad installed, top plate installed. Inner and outer heater boxes installed. Grilles, headlight doors, cleaned ready to install, they may be too Patina.... TBD. Inner fenders are yet another step closer, I cleaned them again and again.. Front bumper cleaned, back side ground down and painted dull Aluminum. (I accidentally ran the 4 inch wire wheel over my wrist when it kicked back... 5K RPM had to get big bandaids at Shoppers :-( a boo boo on the dumb dumb. Not a deep cut but the outline of the grinding wheel is clear on my arm. To me this is a lot of progress, I am still deciding if I will go back to front or front to back. (After I use the never dull and Mother’s chrome polish on the back bumper I will prep the lights mounted in the bumper and mount it.. I guess Back to front it is) Ryan W31

So I have a daily ritual now of cleaning my inner fenders... tomorrow they get a treatment.
I installed the grilles, headlight doors, etc, that makes quite a visual change. I will hit my front bumper with never dull, then Mothers Chrome polish and then install it. The supports are all powdercoated and the fasteners are all restored.... I can wait to see that underbite!!! Ryan W31

Nope, I have never planned to paint the car.
