Got my Parking brake calipers back from Mike and family at DMC Midwest, and they are beautiful. If you need some plating done send them to Mike, he is my go to guy and primary vendor for parts. Ed Eudings brackets... Also Got my NOS stripe kit (thin grey) and mattaligner and new shifter boot and frame from Rob Grady, that I traded a few old parts for. Rob and Jessica are also great people. Rob is gonna install the stripes for me when he and Chris Nicholson re-grain my car in April. I thought the original literature was pretty cool so I uploaded some pics for you guys, although I am sure most of you have probably seen it. My buddy Chris and I will be taking 2706 to the shop tomorrow for a full day. Plan is to get trans-axle and longlock in, cooling system, fuel filter, fuel accumulator, and clutch system done.

Did some work today lol. Motor and trans is in. Thanks to Mike at midwest for loaning me A clutch tool. 90 % Cooling system in, fuel system up to motor almost done just need some accumulator fittings. Not bad for a days work. Tomorrow finish and pressure test cooling system . Start putting top end back together.
Lookign good.
Nice work! Did you change the frame at the end or was it already like that? That must have been nice to take the rear section out of the frame when installing a new engine.
My fuel tank cover plate looked the same as yours. Had some clutch flued leaking on there, the clutch master was bad when i got the car. What I did is drill some holes in each corner of the deep section, so in future any leaking flued will drain out so it does not corrode the plate.
