I didn't have the wire loom installed from the firewall to the rear cross member so I went ahead and did that next and tested it at the back plugin. Everything tested out OK except for the reverse lights.. I'm not worried about those right now. Installed the bulbs and lenses and plugged the connector in at the cross member and everything worked (except those darn reverse lights)...... Surprise!......

I removed the upper grille hoop the other day so I could paint the top part of the grille where I scuffed it up working on stuff. I taped that off, used scotch brite on it and painted it this afternoon. After it dried I put the grille hoop and Bowtie back on.

I had enough daylight left so I installed the hood letters and put the bumper back on.

I have a fuel line that needs secured away from the exhaust and a couple of other little things and I can start driving it.

does that galvanizing compound come in quart can or spray can?
