Picking off little things.



So for the last few months I couldn't find the special shouldered bolts that attach the center axle bearing housing to the engine, that thing has just been hanging out until now.  I found the bolts while looking for other things, so that is now attached for good.
Also I deemed it time to install the radiator for good, that thing looks nice!  I had pulled it out to protect it until now.
I also secured some of the brake lines to the car a little better, and cut/installed the heater hoses.  There also is this little breather box on the back of the engine that needed a new O-ring, I put that back together too.
I'm installing the shift linkage, that thing was perfect but for some reason, it is hitting things.  I'll have to beat on it a bit.  Another thing I did was to order some bolts that will be used as wheel studs through my brake disk, drive flange and wheel spacer stack up.  Then on go the wheels!

Radiator in for good (I'll put the cardboard back on).  I still may pull it out this winter so I can paint the slam panel.  You can see this picture was shot before I finished putting on the rubber guard.

Here are two heater hoses finally plumbed, I had to buy an adapter to go from one hose size to another.  Ugly clamps are in place but this winter I have plans to put some sort of shrink clamp thing that will be much cleaner.  Now that I'm looking at this photo, I see the old brake line mount (bracket with hole near top center) that should probably go away or???
