Took these pieces to Missoula to be powder coated--- bumper brackets, spindles ect--- one week later they called and their ready to be picked up.

Driver side header and ex installed-- A/C alum dress up cover.

Parts to be powder coated.

This may be a stupid question ... Is that an outer metal protective sheath on the brake lines, or is the line itself ribbed to make it easier to form?

Great progress!

This is a stainless steel spring cover that slides over the brake line to protect it from rocks.

Haven't worked on this for a bit-- had lens implant surgery ----- this has been GREAT-- cant wait to do some welding, hoping I'll be able to see the puddle. Can't lift anything over 10# for a few weeks, will only take an hour or so to finish fitting up rotors, brakes,rolling chassis will be complete. Paint process should start at the end of Feb.

I love the body style on these cars. There was one in the city with a straight front axle light blue, I loved that car.
