And I popped this new little guy into the hood..
 
Looking super!!! I like the touch on the hood rod suport...............gotta love the details! SSCR who did your paint and is it single stage or two stage with clear??? Excellent polishing................
 
Single stage, no clear just like from the factory. A local hot rod guy around the southside did the paint. As soon as I saw some of his cars I knew he was the right guy.
 
I have plans to paint the underside of my hood after i fix up some surface rust under there, like the "limit the rattle idea" for the hood rod
 
Thanks!

Hood support rod seems secure, no rattles. But I will put a nylon washer between it and the hood so it can't scratch the paint when rotated into place, thanks again.

Checking in on your progress, fantastic work! I'm jealous of all the OEM parts, you can still get. 55 owners aren't so lucky.

Keep up the good job!
 
Thanks Scrapdaddy, I also bought a new OEM dome light and got a very nice new harness from @Coolerman and installed that this weekend along with my doors and got the front end all buttoned up and lined up nicely. Pics...

I also put together my center counsel after getting it powder coated to match all the other pewter stuff. I traced out and cut some thin closed cell foam before I screwed the counsel back together to fit in the bottom.

I'm going to try and refurb my stock ones, mostly because they have the stock wiring on them that attaches to my harness. I think it might be for a seatbelt indicator.

Looking at my photos I have to say they look like s*** now that the top is on. I need to get some better lighting or something.
 
Amazing work. I've been checking up on your build for months now. Glad you kept it mustard. :cool:
