Not much progres this weekend, was to good wheather to stay in the garage. :eek2: Did paint the front of the radiatorsupport in
satin black and started looking at my grilles, I bought an extra last year in case I needed spareparts so I took both apart to check what to use from
which. All 4 actuators works and the doors doesn't have any damages so it's looking good so far, as long as I don't think about how to mask between
the silver and the black fields. :eek2:

By the way everything else has turned out, I don't think you'll have any problem with making the grille look great.   :2thumbs:

I guess it's all about having patience and don't stress, reading all the other threads about grillrestos to pick up some tips. :cheers:

Finally got the rear brakes together after looking for the correct springs like forever, also painted the new drums with correct paint!!
Now it's waiting for the big day when the vinyltop will go on, I have delayed that long enough now. The stroker is ready to go in aswell
so slowly I'm getting there. :icon_smile_big: Was thinking about the steeringcolum, is it easier to mount that one before the engine goes in? :scratchchin:

Are you running headers? Column isn't bad to do with motor in place and with stock manifold exhaust!  :2thumbs: (I just removed/repaired/reinstalled my 70's, floorshift auto.)

Back in the garage after a week in Sweden and finishing up at work to be able to enjoy 4 weeks of vacation which will be spent
mainly in the garage. :icon_smile_big: Heaterbox is ready, after sanding and painting all the parts the most of the time went to glue all the foam. :eek2: Luckely the kit from Detroit Muscles had a good instruction and all pieces precut. :2thumbs: New screws, heatercore and motor
makes it like new. Now I'm doubting weather I should put the engine in place or do the vinyltop first, I don't know why I'm always delaying that vinyltop? :scratchchin:

Things are running rather good now since it's vacation but I also discovered my first real setback, will take it up in the tranny section.
The dash is almost done after hours and hours of sanding, I really see what the rutten floor and windshieldframe led to. The highlight
though is that I got the stroker in place together with the tranny and the TTI headers :icon_smile_big: real nice stuff those TTI, just
like they jump in place of themselves.
