Got lazy and worked on easier more visually stimulating items. Added all the hood bumpers and doodads. Then installed the hood. Wiped off my finger prints and smudges and it's shines pretty good.
The to do list is getting shorter. Gotta order a couple things and hopefully it will be running and driveable with this week.

You planning on having the top and doors on for the car show? Will be in the valley earlier in the week but not sticking for a car show. Still too hot for my liking.
You hauling it up on a car hauler? Back in the nineties I bought two hard tops and ambulance doors from Sedona Adventures. Picked one on the way back from camping on the rim. Was towing my 68 that had a soft top on at the time. Other one I drove my 79 up from Phoenix with no top or door. That was not fun but for $200 per top I couldn't pass up. Twenty five years ago when I was a lot younger still wasn't any fun.
Whats the dark magic spray you have there?

Rounding up little bits and pieces. This weekend is crunch time. Gotta make it run and drive.
Incorrect era choke cable is installed. Mounted the correct for my set up shifter instructions. Added a battery too.

Looks great, Jack. I had my 40 in the shop this week to have something done, and the owner made a big deal about how impressed he was with the work you did on it. I, of course, had to agree.

Thanks for that. Glad to hear you're still a happy Cruiser owner.
I picked up the rear driveshaft today. Installed it and all looks good there. I made some spacers for the tire carrier. Then assembled that with a fresh new matching spare.

Nothing picture worthy, but the rear harness is installed and everything is terminated.
Tomorrow we get the main harness in and hopefully everything works.
Then we connect a few hoses and fill with coolant. Then fire it up.
