Little work done

I only got an hour in on the car this week, although I did spend a LOT of time researching and trying to figure out what parts are used for the next step. That step is to install the inside fender liners. The aluminum panels will get riveted to the engine bay frame, but like everything else, the fit is very tight. I got them test fit and it was so-so. It will just take more time than you would think to get them perfectly lined up. I had some trouble figuring out how the bottom connects and which were the right brackets to use.

I did apply the POR-15 rust preventing paint to the spots on the bottom of the frame that I had missed (twice) earlier. I still need to install the clamps that will hold the brake lines in place, but that is just a couple of screws and will just take a couple of minutes. But it should be done before hanging the aluminum fender liners.

My camera is acting up again, so no pictures. I had gotten new batteries a few weeks ago, but they must not be good. (They were very cheap). The camera shuts itself off very quickly, and was not cooperating when I tried to upload some other pictures to my computer.
