    Thanks!

    All the specs are in my Showcase post.

    I think Carrol Shelby would approve of the lights. They are the same ones he used on his cars, Lucas Square 8. I wanted something period correct. Most people don't even notice they are not the original Sport Lamps. They are bright as hell, as you can see in my avatar. Great for blasting along a dark windy road.

    Finally installed small bumper. I used the nuts welded to washers technique with the template. I am benefiting from the Mav/Comet geniuses that roam these halls.

    welded a sheet metal strip over a rusted out seam between rear 1/4 and tailight panel (corner of trunk), so finally could re-install fender extension, tail lights, straightened valence, and rear bumper.....and no, there is no pic of my ugly duckling weld :bigsmile:.

    Noticed water on the floor after the rain yesterday :( - Gonna check the cowl today... My windshield gasket was already on the list to be replaced, so here's hoping :hmmm:

    I had already done rust bullet and paint on the floor pans. They should be safe for now. Dropping it off to have the exhaust put on tonight - feel bad they might open the door tomorrow and see a puddle on the floor
