Was able to get the headers in with no big problems. Just about got everything I was hoping to have done before I return it to the body shop this Saturday for paint.

Heres some pictures of tonights progress. Installed the new style A/C compressor, front swaybar, and worked on the universal shiftrod from shiftworks that Im using to shift the TH350. Really coming along, Im just hoping to make sure my body man is gonna keep a similar pace.

If your body guy is as hard working as you are it will be done soon.

He certainly is hard working, just spreads himself to thin. Thanks again.

Well it's now back at the bodyshop and we are planning on getting together there next Saturday to install and align the doors, then fenders etc.
The Jeep steering box swap went very smooth. I ordered the ragjoint and the little parts you instsall in the box for the stock lines to work with from Lee manf. The stock lines on my 72 didnt quite look/run to good. The bend were it conects to the box was funky. I purchased a new high pressure line for a 68 and it has a nice 90 degree bend at the steer box. The low pressure was much closer and could be bent to work. Now the lines coming out of the box are much neater and look factory to me. Take a look in the photos. Thank you to those that have taken the time to comment. Theres been MANY hours in my shop working on this car by myself. Not many people have a clue as to how many hours it takes to do even the simple things on these cars. Including myself!

Good Lawd theres a lot of time , work amd money involved in rebuilding these classics. This weekend was productive but slow. I arrived home Friday to a stack of boxes from Ground Up. Got lots of goodies for assembly. Also got a local Camaro supply guy (Camaro Barn) to order me front and rear bumpers with no shipping and his price was cheaper than all the big name Chevelle suppliers.
Saturday we got the doors on and adjusted, both fenders are on and one is about perfect and the other we are gonna finish Monday.
