your projects looking real good. thanks for the pics.trying to compare on my project with filling in the wrong holes. i was wondering where your opening is for the horn wiring, i could not see it in your photos.also you may know, is there supposed to be pressed through clips to hold the wiring harness as it runs along the bottom of the wheel well. mine is a april 52 and i think some one used a later oval panel.just trying to get it right before paint. thank you.

Much appreciated, from what I remember most original examples Ive seen in person haven't had a hole but they ran the wiring on the inside of the bumper bracket through the rubber grommet. But I could be wrong so please anyone chime in to confirm. 👍

Now that the body is getting ready for painting, I started getting the wheels ready for powder coating, then went back to the painter. All the original rust and four layers of paint to get to the 72-year-old bare steel. :D ](*,) :D ](*,) :D :D :D :D :D

Just got the wheels back from powder coating now onto painter. :D :D :D :D
