what about boxing the frame in and cage bolts?

Thank you, that answers some questions. I have a '72 with only the drivers sport mirror. Canadian built as well.

Wonderful and great inspiration for the rest of us. The routing of your A/C lines is a nice touch... Have fun.

Pristine filler bumper filler panel... Sweet!

Thanks for the tip... I need all I can get...

Searsman: Looks great. Did you use dura-glass, body filler? Enquiring minds want to know? Thanks, Brad

Looks wonderful. I just fabricated the felt mount for the new quarter. Debating on seam sealer in that area vs brazing. Not sure what the factory did. Mine looks similar before replacing the full quarter. Any opinions out there of brazing over seam sealer?

Brilliant!

Thank you to all for your ongoing inspiration, I finally had some time in the garage, Friend helped me finish the wheel well, outside trunk filler and started on the sail. We unboxed one of the doors I purchased in Arizona back in the mid 90' and was super happy on how well it stored. The backordered gasket kit finally arrived for the heater box assy. I can finally get moving as soon as medicare season is over! YES! Thank you all for sharing!

Lovely, you did a flocking good job!

Such a clean install. Great pictures. Notice the large coil spring in missing. Is the shock spring replacing the coil?

So cool... I have been on the fence about purchasing one for some time. Thank you for the pictures and sharing. Stay Safe. Brad

Repair looks wonderful... how did you repair it? Is that a plastic or pot metal blade?

Do you still have the stock rear-end? Cam shaft?

Looks great... like eating an elephant... one bite at a time. Thanks for the share.

I am looking for suggestion for a build to support the car body off the frame. Space is limited. This would just be from the firewall back to the tail. Wood or Metal build. Thank you.

Gosh that firewall looks great... This picture is in the back of my head while scraping ziebart off mine! Thank you Update: 7SEP2023, Seam sealer on. Waiting on the eastwood paint. In the meantime started on underhood wiring harness (waiting on tape) and emergency brake assembly.

I believe the plastic dots were for ease on assembly line. I cannot imagine assembly with that thing sliding up and down while attaching to the steering gear box. There is negligible "slop" without the nylon. After cleaning (see video) the parts slide very smoothly. I may look into flowing hot glue into the space after assembly just to keep the schmuck out of the hole preventing if from doing its job on impact. The "two posts" appeared where they had flowed the nylon into the space during the build. Just like the Piston O-ring for the washer pump I am sure they are made of unobtainium and are on intragalactic back-order! 😀 Update 7SEPT23: Discussion on link below replacing with high-temperature Glue gun and nylon screws. https://www.mgexp.com/article/easy-mgb-steering-column-repairs.337

Yesterday's bite was 8-hours going through the wiper motor. 51-years of sludge had it binding. May have been an exercise in futility since we cannot purchase the piston '0' ring*. Soaked plastic parts in dawn dish soap, light sandblasting on the washer pump housing and fresh grease. Does anyone know how hot these motors get. I ran this one on the bench about 40 minutes on low (4amp) and the motor ran about 140 degrees F. On high the amperage went down to 3 amps, temperature stayed the same. End game here is to put a rotor pump hidden in the fender and push through the stock. Finished! Bench Testing: This fellows video was wonderful given the fact that the wiring diagrams did not match the motors pin out.

Thanks to everyone this forum has been an inspiration to keep me going... One small bite at a time. New boot on the lower steering shaft this week. Took it to a shop and then later found all I needed to do was heat up the nylon mid area and give it a smack with the hammer. Monte lower steering shaft.mp4

MC1of80, thank you for the guidance and the pictures... That appears to be exactly what I believed it to look like. I have not decided on the frame yet as it needs to come off one more time. We used hammerite on a coworkers 64 Impala about 10 years ago, I need to see how it is holding up. I'm also going to box in the frame like the station wagons for strength and sneak in a receiver hitch. Some of the folks on this site did a wonderful job hiding the receiver. Thank you again! Stay Safe.

Do you know what the correct color is for the firewall. Between zeibart tar and grease I'm not sure. I have both sides of the firewall stripped. In the same area, inside the cowl where the wiper transmission rides, there was black paint there. After stripper I found original color and more flat black. I plan on changing the vehicle color so I may just stick with a rattle can flat black in the cowl... Thoughts?

Most excellent... Love the car's color and the wheels a nice punch!
