My nuts are now equal

And yes, everything is going to de detailed and matching under the hood.

So anyway, I started repainting various brackets and things today.
(no, I didn't spray it on the back of the vert)

also swapped the center console with the other red one. Things match like there supposed too now.

and the new addition for the vert.

Also looks like I have to hack the nubbins off the bottom of the battery tray, to bolt it into the space that I covered over.

Also have to clean that rusty bracket up and paint it.

arent those "nubbins" drain holes for the battery tray? you might want to put them back in just in case your battery leaks in the future.

I thought they were there to sit in the frame rail. They gotta go anyway

So I cut them off. They do nothing except sit in the frame rail and make it rust.

Got all the wiring back in the car. Brake and fuel lines are next.
............ And a whole lot of body work.

Thanks guys, It has been a long road to get to this point. It's finally going back together instead of getting taken apart. This part of the project is a lot more fun then the first part.
I'm thinking it's time for the bodywork this weekend. :D

Once a week? Its really starting to come together. I almost don't want to imagine body work after seeing what you've already done.

Here's a tip for you: while the fenders are off clean/Meguiar's PlasticX the washer fluid tank. I really, really want to clean mine (it's yellowed like yours) but I have to remove the fender to do so. I'm lazy and I don't want to re-align the fender unless I'm having the car painted

I'll take the one you have sitting around if it's clear
