More good progress today….  Decided to move to the back and make sure the engine bay is all ready For it’s VVM engine and trans..   So I gathered up my stuff and started with gas tank straps.  I like to reuse originals but see you have new ones already, so I mocked them up a few times till I had them just right, and still think I got lucky 🍀 they sit right down in their homes!  I do love the fact you can open and install, no blast and paint session.. Same for the gas tank!.. We use to reuse tanks a lot but it was a hassle if the customer had a filter full of sand or gunk later.  And no leaks…. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻      Also fraught with the seal up at the cap, but won!  👍🏻  Found your OG cap and polished it!  Also OG Vin tags…. Polished and Vin installed.  Crush aluminum Rivets.  Love ❤️ it!!!!!!!!!!’

Next would be beam and spring plates. But that’s after dolly comes out…. And I am not sure of Cole’s schedule on motor and trans delivery…. So I am going to move on to bumpers and then Rims👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Pics are all backwards…. Must post they way I pickem🤫🤫🤫🤫
