 Front nose and striker aluminum

front nose aluminum
March was a busy month for the car.
Here I installed the aluminum that helps hold the radiator in place.

I used stainless steel pan head bolts and washers in stead of rivets.  Again, I have to remember the body eventually has to come off to be painted.

Here is a view inside the nose on the drivers side.  I had to cut the aluminum around the bumper bolts.

This is where I decided to mount the horn which is now working from the dash board button. Yahoo now I can toot my horn.





striker plate
I had this odd looking piece of aluminum that I did not find referenced in the install manual. The forum came to the rescue and I figured out where it was supposed to go.

This is the drivers side and it took some bending and trimming to get it to fit but it covers up the hole around the door latch striker. I did the same on the passenger side.
