Still busy with real work, but managed to get a few things done. The rear bumper is split to allow mounting and hinging of the spare. The easiest way to cut the bumper would have been on a really big chop saw, but failing that I made a little angle template to guide cutting with a hand held disc. Now the bumperettes turn back into the body somewhat.
A-1 Driveshaft in Baltimore shortened my driveshaft 10" to match the wheelbase change and here it is all dressed up with new u-joints (Napa 369, all 51-56 stick shift cars) and a coat of paint.
Scored this really cool old Delco high performance coil which will look nice prominently mounted on the engine.
