Made a couple repop brackets for the heater hoses. Lol
I also figured out some new defroster hoses. These appear to have been something like air cooled vw shroud to heat exchanger tubing.
Of course being a 63, i have no real reference. Seems like a lot of one year only stuff.
This car came with what look like flexible radiator hoses. (wrapped in duct tape. Lol) im picking up a couple new, hopefully better fitting, hoses in the morning.
Going to try and bleed the hydraulic systems tomorrow.

So just a little update here.
These shoes show up on Monday. Guess what. Ya they're wrong.
Pretty sweet.
Pic 1 is my front vs later rears
Pic 2 is what guy is saying are the fronts. (identical to the rears i removed, that's why they are installed as such)
I have, at this point, sent several emails back to guy with these pics. His last email said he couldn't figure out what the issue was.....

Aside from this stupid, the hydraulics are bled. The carb has been gone through. Tune up stuff installed.
Need to do some hardware checks, get some oil and i can likely attempt to fire it here in the next week or two.
Still have not opened up the carpet box

Back at it. I need to push through with this project so I can escape...
This thing is basically ready to run. Brake pedal still feels like dogshyt, so moar fückery incoming.
What i have done is get the wiring finished up. Some locking hardware.
Hooked up the battery today..... No fire or magic smoke. Clock started ticking.
I got all exterior lights up except backup. Just didn't mess with it today. Missing a couple dash bulbs. The red light top center dash is the high beam indicator.
