Engine Rebuild and Body Work Update

So, a lot has happened over the holidays. I made some new friends up at Jet Motors in Happy Valley. Another parts connection and some great guys who love these cars and know a lot about building them. Note the cool valve cover wing nuts I got from them. The engine is essentially complete with a few minor finishing touches needed.  I am struggling with deciding what to do with the distributor and need to soda blast and paint a few more parts.




I also have some pictures of the body in the paint shop. It is looking pretty straight. Actually, the best it's looked since I have owned it. Hope to have some pictures with paint soon.

Front Fenders and Dashboard

You can see some of the old Riviera Blue where the dash area is uncovered

Hood and Trunk or more properly the Boot in British terms
