Engine bay sanded and masking ready for primer
Engine bay, and roof primed. Had to switch to my touch-up gun half way through since my large gun decide my hand needed to be primed more than the car

Color, my large gravity feed gun decided to quit during the primer part of the job so I had to go get a new one.

Working on the engine bay harness
Replaced the fusible links with a Maxi fuse block, and removed all of the excess and unused wiring.

I still need to wire the transmission, A/C, fans, and engine.

I think your engine will need a fee more things than wiring.

I had figured that but I thought I would give you crap about it.

Duplicolor deep blue, from the body shop series. I will be topping it with an acrylic clear (probably urethane)

Taillights were in for some wiring mods to the harness. The original sockets were trashed, now I need to wire the trunk release

Yes. I also boxed the mounts on the cowl so I could undermount them for clearance.
Fun to watch this happen. A worthy car to be restored, that is for sure. What color are you going to make it? Did you say, did Mr Senile miss that? Mine is Midnight Blue (Metallic) Of course, you are far more talented then I am, I had mine done by someone else.
