Got a few things done today. I lined up the half doors with some pin-style strikers: Black Mountain units from Collins Bros Jeep, so they at least close now. Also buzzed off the front (fender) pieces of the diamond-plate rocker pieces – I have some repop fenders to replace these nasty old things, and I’ll be doing the ‘clamshell’ treatment I did on Dookie about 15 years ago with the new fenders. Also surveyed the engine compartment and sprayed down some PB Blaster to get ready for Saturday’s fun.

Looks like a big rusty mess, but my ’71 Mach 1’s engine was worse, and seized as well. This one at least turns. I’m hoping the brake booster is still good.
