Thanks guys! I think the Hollander book lists beater as interchanging with daily driver or something to that effect.

Yep, the list is getting shorter - but there's still a list.
Trial assembling parts is ongoing. Got the coil covers back from the pinstriper on Saturday. He did a nice job and fast too. I have all the lines for the a/c and heater, both flexible and hard lines, ready to go to Independence Hydraulics for crimping and flaring. Just waiting on one more fitting to arrive. I've also been working on the radiator hoses, horns and cruise control setup. Still have to figure out the best location for the Leed vacuum pump. 10 lbs of poop in a 5 lb bag.
Spent the better part of a day and a half getting the grille bar to fit the way I wanted. The factory fit on the grille surround, splash pan and etc. is pretty sloppy. To get all the parts to bolt up, you have to leave all the bolts and screws loose until everything is in place, then gradually draw up the fasteners. No idea how all this will play out when the fenders, hood and bumper go on. I've arranged for Sean from Hot Rod Express to be here Saturday, April 3rd to help me with that task.
