I messed around with little stuff, like taking the back hood retainer off and having to play contortionist to remove the nylock nuts while holding the phillips head bolts, so I copied Jim Robinson's good idea and put in a pair of nut-serts. Not sure why I didn't do that from the start, but it's done now and putting the clip on will be a piece of cake! Thanks for the idea, Jim!

I'm not fond of sanding and it seems that I have to re-learn the process every time but I spent several hours on the firewall and finally got it into shape from all of the hacking I did to it to clear the 700R4 tranny. There's a removable hump that's held with nut-serts in the floor inside. It looks pretty good now!

Got the fuel line installed with clips drilled & tapped for stainless button heads, and ordered a gallon of Herculiner bed liner to coat the bottom of the body - gravel road and shiny paint just doesn't make sense, plus it's a bit quieter. I'm about to run out of things that I wanted to get done before painting the frame & firewall....
