Looking good GW. More pics please . When you have time could you post a few pictures of where you drilled the 1/8th inch holes for alignment? Sorry to see the cadmium plating eroded. I installed a complete front end on the 68 442 only to watch the finish do the exact same thing over a period of time, prior to getting back on the road. Glad to see the progression. As always your work is second to none!

Charles, here's some shots if the 1/8" holes we drilled to realign stuff up.

Back of fender to cowl.

Front of fender to core support.


At door jamb.

Also did the doors and decklid this way. Here is a shot of a door hinge.

And a shot of how we kept all the bolts and shims in order when removed from mock up.

Took a while and some help from fellow PY members for me to figure out the orientation of the inner fender splash shields. I had no picture of the lower ones. After some debate on how they came from the factory I am convinced they were installed a couple of different ways. I went with the one that made the most sense to me and that is shown in the picture below.

The upper shields I had a picture if and although I believe they were also installed from the factory a couple of ways the picture below shows how mine came.

Here is a shot of the restored tilt column that will be going into Nana's car. It is not the original to the car as it did not come with a tilt wheel.
Interesting bit of trivia is that the ignition switch found on the column (green thingy in pict) is different from tilt to standard column. On a standard ignition when you turn the key it pushes on the rod that actuates the ignition, on the tilt column it pulls.

And finally a shot of the Dynamat I installed under the dash on the cowl for noise and heat reduction, along with the restored heater box.
