Thanks for all the wonderful comments, and compliments. Here are some of my latest photos of my car. I have my subframe painted, and my "The Right Stuff" disc brake conversion mounted up, as well as some of my stainless lines they provided and my new big-block coils. I discarded my drum brake set-up that was on the front and forgot to save my steering arms. Luckily, the guy that picked them up still has them, so all I need to do is chase them down and clean and paint them...then reinstall. Notice all the bolts holding the lines, and A-Arms are the original bolts, just cleaned, beaded, and replated. The clips are also the originals. I cleaned them and found they were originally painted blue. After some searching, I found an almost exact match and plated the clips, then painted them and installed.

Exceptionally nice reproduction frame mounts (With GM Part numbers stamped in) and the original bolts cleaned, blasted, and replated. I always tell my friends, "This is the fun part of a restoration"

Thought I would take a shot at posting a better photo tonight. Been meaning to give this a shot for awhile.

Here are a couple shots of my outer wheel housing on the passenger side. I am replacing it as well as the lower quarter, and a small patch on the front of the quarter. I probably should have put a new quarter on this side, after all the work around the rear window and down low.....It certainly would have made changing this outer wheelhousing easier.
