thanks fellas, I have healed. although immediately after it looked like a grapefruit under my skin.
gabe, the powdercoaters just called, I have high hopes!
installed the wiper motor and shortened the pass wiper arm 3/4". if you are using a newport wiper motor you will need to do this too. the instructions say to "bend the arms" if something binds, but the passenger arm is just too long, bending will just make it harder to attach.

I am thinking if I am reading the wiring diagram of the s10 correctly, I can hook the motor up to the factory stalk.
more hood problems. the passenger side was in right but the drivers side was off, this is the accident side so likely needs adjusting from that anyway.

this will be the THIRD set of hood bolts I have bought, the first got lost in the shuffle when I came home with them, this set broke from repeated install/removal.
it was too late to get them so I installed the new passenger glass in the frame.

if you havent done this job, it involves a sledgehammer.
the glass fits in the channel in rubber set tape, sometimes you get lucky and the old tape stays in when you take out the broken glass, but its tighter than my wallet. some liberal tapping was needed to get the set screws back in.
then I switched out the passenger door trim for that stainless I got at the swap meet. looks good.

I put the new chrome door handle on after that and the door swung shut.
time to stop.
edit: picked up the wheels and had the tires mounted.
