Got the 700R4 transmission wired to the switch on the dash. Got the front fenders and rumble seat lid in primer. Here's where it's at now. Still waiting for the front tires which are on back order from BF Goodrich. Really anxious to see how it's going to sit.

I have the original top rails but that will be a project for after the summer. They are in good shape but will need to be cleaned up. I need to get the side windows in place before I can do the roof.

Thanks again guys! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel as I check off one more thing on my to do list. I got the emergency brake installed this week. I purchased a Lokar #EHB-7000F chrome emergency brake handle. The instructions were good as they usually are with Lokar. I cut the hole in the floor. I made a small plate to strengthen it and tie it into the floor braces. Got the handle installed then worked on the cables. Kit #EC-80FU is the universal cables with black housing. I ran the cables so they were away from the mufflers and used a clamp to hold them up to the floor. Once they're all in place I marked them and cut the housings first with some 8" cutters and then put them back in, marked the cables and then cut them with a cut off wheel. I put the cables back through the block put some Loctite on the set screws and tightened them. After a little adjustment the brakes worked great.

Worked on mounting the gas tank apron. The one steel panel of my car that needs too much work to do right now is the gas tank apron so I bought a fiberglass one from Speedway Motors. It is far from perfect but will work for now. I had to figure out a way to attach it to the car. I made 5 pieces of steel that I attached a stud to. Then tapped two 10-32 holes into each of them to attach them to the flange of the apron.

The studs go through a piece of rectangular tubing at the back of the car that I fabricated to replace some of the original wood. I fit the piece as best as possible but there is a gap between it and where it meets the rear fenders. I guess for $100 I can't ask for too much.

You could cut the flange off the apron and bolt it to the fender and glass it together.
I like the way you mounted it.

Didn't want to spend too much time or money on this panel as I intend on fixing the original steel one. It'll due until I have the time after the summer to work on the original one.

Tom
I am
considering
using "beaded welting" between the tailpan and apron...maybe even around the fenders.

I mounted the rear fenders and used Filling Station #B184 3/16 Beaded Fender Welt. It's Vinyl and is 1 1/2" wide. Comes in a 25 foot roll for $15.50. It fit good but is a little loose around the top of the fender. I might try a piece of black duct tape on the inside of the welt to tighten it up.
