Thanks Chip! Yer ole Dad dropped by with the (99% finished) beauty and I took some photos. It looks great! I have the stainless tubing we need for the upper radiator hose upgrade, so just need the existing hose as a pattern. I might be able to get close with the pics I took, but it never hurts to have the real deal on hand.

I dropped off some additional parts/hardware at HRE this week. They're about ready to lift the body off the chassis for final priming, blocking and paint. They estimate next week for that. Plan is to return the chassis to me while the body is being painted and buffed, then back to them to set the body on. Don't know if it will happen quite that quickly, but I'm hopeful. Nearly all the spots they found doing the initial blocking have been repaired. Only one door gap remains to be done.
