Yes, you have this vision that all the new parts will bolt up and go together with a special beauty, then you find the stripped threads and the hammers and pry bars come out 😂

But thats car building for you....

looks great. I remember when I was just before that stage. Pete is right on the tools.  :). Good luck on your progress. SJ looks great on a 69
