Well a little more work on the car yesterday. I removed the Wiper Motor, drivers side air vent inlet, and parking brake assembly. I still need to get the heater box, and the hood hinges taken off, then the firewall will be clear to start the refinishing process.

I also took a drive over to NAPA today and bought all the steel tubing to replace all the hardline under the hood (Vacuum, Oil, and Fuel). I bought the tubing with the fittings already on them. I figure I can just cut the end off one side and shorten where needed and reuse the fitting.

So it was 5/8 Fuel, 1/4 Vacuum and Oil, and 3/16 vacuum. I also bought some rubber fuel hose to replace the vacuum hose with where required. I had already bought all the brake lines a few months ago as a set. The only other line I still need to buy is the fuel hardline that runs along the length of the frame rail.
