These 55 year old door sills are a real PITA to clean up. Front one is the untouched one and the back one is after a couple hours of wet sanding and then polishing by hand. Kill me now!
 
Installed the new reproduction clutch fan and shroud I bought from Mancini's. Also added a pie pan to the air cleaner instead of the decal.

I didn't get much done but I did get my fuel filler tube installed and put gas in the tank yesterday . I have been running the Dart off a gas can. I got it running and have the fuel lines primed, I can reach inside with the window down turn the key and it fires right up. YAY! That is a monumental achievement :)
 
Replacing new fuel pump. Diaphragm shows signs it ripped. 15 mins on a new pump. It was not a Carter pump. The 408 Six Pack is back on hold. :(

Slooooow going trying to get all this down to bare metal and prime against flash rusting in this jungle-like atmosphere in Southeast Texas, all in 96 degree heat. Big challenge is to avoid sweating all over my work. Tough getting in around all the support struts without ripping the sanding pad all to hell.
