Looking great! On your priming of the oil pump do you turn your drill (left) or counter clock-wise correct?

Counter clockwise. I use a socket that fits the oil pump shaft.

It cracks me up when I see the 'tool' on the parts shelves for $30+.

I got the hood hinges painted and ready to install this weekend. I also got the back glass installed. I bought my seals from NPD and it was a PITA getting the back glass installed! Parachute 550 cord in the groove worked, however it was still a battle!

I've been busy lately and I'm close to driving my '67. The brakes have been rebuilt on all four corners, suspension components torqued at ride height, spray-in bed liner on the cab floor, seats installed and I just finished installing the windshield and hood this evening. I need to install the bumpers, tailgate and the B&M shifter and it will be ready for a test drive. :D

It's Bright White from Summit Racing. It's made by Kirker and Autoboby Tool Mart has even better prices than Summit.

Is it urethane? Single stage too I'm assuming? That's what I'm planning to use.

Yep. Single stage urethane and it buffed out pretty nice.

My Bump is finally all together. Now all I need to do is get it titled, tagged and inspected.
