Not a ton of progress but slowly moving along. I started cleaning up a set of hood hinges for it a couple weeks ago. They are both glass beaded now but need to be test fit before I commit to using them. I think they'll be okay though. I also got a steering column for it and a trunk lock so I can stop using a screwdriver to get in there every time I work on it. It's amazing how having a keyed lock makes it seem more like a car again. It's the little things.

Speaking of trunk locks, I was comparing the newly acquired one to some of the others I had on my other cars and was trying to decide which style was correct. Majority won and I ended up using the one with the larger lock nut. I did weigh them for reference since I'm trying to go fast and at first was disappointed with the fact I had chosen to use the heavier one. After pondering on it for a bit though I concluded if I was going to use a heavier anything, the back of the trunk was the place to put it.
