Making slow progress.... cut a panel and flanged the edge ... welded in the sunroof opening. The small rust issues were taken care of. Waiting for a little warmer weather before i roll it out side and shoot some self etching prime and then finish the body work.......did I mention I hate sanding.

Removed the tie rod ends.....took some heat to remove one. Paint on the new replacements is crap so I cleaned that off and gave them some new paint and set them aside for now.

Based on what I saw before I started I'm guessing somebody has been in it before....wrong nut and in the position seen. Wondering about the ring? after removing it appears it had a lot more threads in the housing it didn't reach. Any thoughts on that for when it goes back together?

Thanks Larry....not much more that wrench turning at this point. I prefer to leave the engine as the last piece of the piece of the puzzle myself. At this point I need to work toward getting a rolling shell..preferably with paint. so I can move it out of the way as I expect this thing will be coming back to my place for final assembly sometime in the first part of March and my shop is full right now.
