Mounted the bumpers, running boards, and decklid.
Also removed the yellow paint from the drivers door and blended the quarter panel a little bit.

Bled the brakes, new door rubbers, and the engine is most ready to go in. Also ordered a new auto stick starter. Also ordered a new Bowden tube... Seems they gave me a bay bus one instead making it too long.

No pics of anything worth seeing but:
Installed new window seals on all the stationary glass along with all new rubber for the doors. Filled the 68 trans with fluid. Installed a new Bowden tube... Three actually because the cheap things kept splitting. Threw in a new throw out bearing and a new auto stick starter as well. _________________ 1952 Zwitter
