It is funny to see the little econobox in the garage, while the poor Dart GTS sits outside

You noticed the wife's 76 Colt!  That garage was so small that it was the only car we owned that would fit in it! Besides, we had just got married so I was still trying to impress her.  Now 30 years later I am out in the garage working on my Dart and she is pissed off at me in the house, funny how more things change the more they stay the same... 
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Well she keeps fighting me the whole way, so nothing else has changed!  I put the wiring harness for the headlights in and there are no wire tabs to bend to keep the wires up. I guess they do not weld them on the NOS pieces and I cannot find any new ones anywhere, so I need to get some off an old core support crossbar and bond them on and try to match the paint. Moving right along I find that the NOS fender on the driver's side has the headlight bucket mounting bracket clocked wrong and welded.  I wonder what else I am going to find, but I WILL keep taking one step forward and two back until it kills me!

With all the epoxies out there I bet you could take panel adhesive and glue them in place.

Put the front bumper on today, I forgot how much fun it is to install a rechromed bumper with powder coated brackets. It took over 4 hours to make it line-up perfectly. I will put the grill and headlight bezels in tomorrow, wish me luck!  Hopefully I can find the rest of the brake parts so I can assemble and bleed themm then on to the steering column and trans linkage, then finish-up underneath by the rearend, lots of little things to do there.
