And the fenders will do. First things first. I had a rusted out bolt on the right top door hinge that needed to be drilled out and re-tapped. Once that was done, I needed to install the strikers. I had to source later/newer strikers as mine were a bit worn
I am always hesitant installing strikers when the lockpost has been replaced. A lot can go wrong and although you have "several degrees of adjustment" things can get ugly real quick. Fortunately my original measurements were decent and the strikers needed little adjustment to be dead on.
Once both strikers were adjusted to get the rear of the door gaps correct, time to move to the fenders...left side
And right side ...hey it was raining when I brought the fender down from above. We are experiencing a pleasurable but rare afternoon monsoon season in the front range of Colorado...a bit of artistic license
As the song says ..."both sides now"
Need to install the snakes...front hood gaskets
So I can install the hood...damn, this has been a long haul to make the front of the car look like the front of a car.
I need to deal with hooking up the various wiring before getting to excited about installing headlights and turn signals...and then the front bumper. Hey, it's the first day of a four day weekend...whoohoo
