Undercarriage painted and ready for the box. Had some gasket type cushions given to me by Metaldoc. Perfect time to install. Thanks Metaldoc.

Replaced all the rubber and felts on the drivers door. Completely gone made a hell of a racket. Also had to weld the bracket under the vent window that reinforces the outside skin to the inside skin. Weird thing is the passenger side is like new. Must never rolled the window down or used the pass door. P.O. was the original owner guess he was single.

started cleaning up the 69. trying to convince myself to sell it so I can spend more time and money on the 71. I know if I sell it I will soon regret it. I have replaced almost everything on it . if it had good paint it would be easier to hang on to.

Any idea how much you want for it? Feel free to PM me.

What are those cushions for? I have never seen them before.

Metaldoc had made them up. Just a cushion between the box and frame. One less squeak or rattle.

I cut them from an old tread mill track and lined my fuel tank straps with it. Make sure you add some ground straps from the frame to the bed. Looking good, when do you get the engine back?

Good call on the ground straps! I cancelled the rebuild on that engine last week. Going to go a different route on the CST. 5.3 LS/4L60E. So I'm pulling the 327 out of the CST to put in "The Readheaded Stepchild". It had a recent rebuild and has LT1 double hump heads & and a new duel exhaust system as well as power steering. I expect the CST will be a 4-5yr build as my honey has me on a strict allowance. I have a lot of parts to get started. Time to photograph, remove, clean, paint, bag, tag, shelf. Lol

Changed the oil this morning and noticed that the power steering reservoir is loose on the fender. Before I just tighten the bolt up, I'd like to see a picture of it properly mounted. There is only one bolt attaching it to the fender, but it has two nuts welded to it. I'm thinking it's not mounted in the right place. GM wouldn't use a bracket like that and not have two bolts in it, methinks.
