Made some more progress this weekend. Did a lot of "smalls". Bow latch pins, weld nuts for throttle pedal, horn bracket, etc. Used the collar for the clutch rod boot and welded that on the toe board. One of the tail light buckets is mia. I made some a few years back so I'll use a CMD version. I'm sure I'll find the original at some point but not a big deal. I think I'm down to just a few more parts and then start on blending all of the plug welds. Or at least the ones that will be visible.
