Got them the other day... not nearly as nice as Garm's but should do the trick. His looks like stainless, mine look like plastic! I have not installed yet, and note that the adjustable cup holder arms are not spring loaded or anything, but it appears they will work just fine.

darn, the Champion aluminum radiator does not fit -- AT ALL. Time for a phone call.

Spike is very happy with his new water pump.
Painted the fan shroud and cleaned up the pulley while they were off the car.

A big thank you to Dean, who graciously accommodated my SECOND trip back over there because I forgot the extra water pump housing-to-head gasket.

Very nice looking bar. I had the same on my 70. At least I believe it was the same, judging by construction and angles.

What did you do to prevent the occurrence of surface rust on the raw steel?

That bar looks real nice! I need to have mine stripped and repainted, it looks like it's been repainted a few times, mostly around where the soft top frame hits when you're putting it down.

^ I would powdercoat it, it's so much more resistant to scratches and chips. When I paint my car I may powdercoat mine, but everyone seems to like the raw steel a lot.

paint? NOOOOOOOO

There are some powders that resemble raw. lots of different powders to choose from nowadays.

Nah, i'm back to raw with sealant.

Stainless door panels are next.
