Got my spare fender back from my buddy with the color test. The Code 29 Dark Blue (front) looks best most of the time, but it does turn blurple. The Code 492 Saville Grey looks too grey...but I like the slate-ish kind of hue. I'm gonna see if I can get a custom "492" mixed with double the blue ingredients.
I got the firewall completely smoothed until I saw a post on Facebook and decided to relocate the wiper motor. So I ground out some of the filler I had just finished and worked it out. Had help from Kevin's post a few years ago when he did it.

02-07-2015 #82Finished smoothing & mocked up the hidden wiper motor & line lock. I'll mount the clutch reservoir with a self-tapper once the engine bay is assembled and I can determine the best fit.
I had to modify the sway bar holes in the frame for my Hotchkis bar. They said it was common. So I welded in a 3/16" plate and tapped it all the way through the frame.
My buddy was dragging ass to help with the spot blaster so I just borrowed it and did it myself. It's not the greatest, but with some patience it works.
And while I had the blaster handy I decided to melt out the factory lead on the quarter. There was a tiny crack starting. I see the factory welded a few beads in addition to the spot welds. So I figured I'd weld the rest before filling it back in.
