Steering shafts all done. Pretty tight in there. I was a little nervous about it.

There is a support right above the center joint, bolted to the frame.

Some more progress. I got the inner fenders all mocked up and ready to paint.

Also got the core support a fresh coat of black.

Inner panels painted and installed. I wasn’t going to get a new washer bottle, but I may now.
Rerouted the wiring behind the panels and then to the bottom of the core support. Trying to keep engine bay as clean as possible
