well kind of idle for now with the car, not much to do...

Reflectors are at plater, supposed to get nickeled tomorrow, then polished, so once i can pick them up they will go out west to Uvira to get aluminized. so another 2-3 weeks before i can get to work on assembling the headlamps and front end.

Front Brakes are at at stop, need to get either new rod ends or custom made brass nuts with standard threading on them. stock rod ends are 5/16-18 whereas the brass nuts are 5/16-24.

think that is about it, other then going over the brakes again and setting them once i get the issue fixed. put together front end, requires headlamps, firing up and tuning/test drive, need brakes and wheels for that. and a once over to make sure i got everything....  probably about 90% complete at this point !!

i did a test fitting and make a tool to test for alignment. looks like they should line up pretty close.

I&I gasket with the washers stacked to prevent the stanchion base from collapsing once tightened (they come in the kit)

gasket set, stanchion installed, hardware placed (loose)

setup with tool i made to test fitment and alignment

close up of tool
(long bolt, washer, bolt for head lamp bucket & piece of pex cut to length to allow 1/2 of thread to protrude

this also required a test fit of the radiator splash apron

bolted up front bumper along with signal lights and such

started working on my headlamp wiring
installed the armor on the sire and ran it into the radiator shell, through grommet.

now i can solder on the connectors and get it complete .
