Final pieces
We're in the home stretch now (as far as reattaching the body goes, of course). Next up is getting the cooling system into a state where it can be filled and pressure tested. After that, the intake manifold will go back on and the fuel system will be tested, then the body gets re-attached.
Exhaust installed.
New non-asbestos muffler heat shield. All of those re-plated mounts look nice too.
No more rusty exhaust!
Silicone hoses for the heater system. They're a bear to reach once the intake is on... these will ensure that a bad hose is not the reason I will need to go back there!
