Car arrived Friday from Miguel.  The paint work is amazing as always.  Since it has only been around 110 degrees F here in San Diego, I decided to do a little work on the car.  Got the underside painted with POR-15 and then added a little undercoating.  Painted the forward radiator supports, rear  vent holes and the wire tabs.  Started installing a few components that were ready to go.  My son is going to lend a hand tomorrow so should be able to finish up the brake and fuel lines and install the suspension.  She's looking pretty nice!

Got most of the suspension in along with the rear diff and CV joints.  Also installed fuel and brake lines.

Rich,

What did you do to harness holders in the engine bay? Original? Redone?

Hand painted with a small brush and gloss black paint.

Very nice!

Does it hold up to being closed onto the harness?

Yes, it does fine. Same as the new paint.  I just paint the rubber portion.  Touch up if needed after bending over harness 

Incredible work Rich....from A to Z!  You really don’t miss anything. I’ll bet your shirts all hang perfectly in the right direction in your closet. LOL
