I installed the cowl lights and hooked up the wiring, and they worked. They are repros that were on the car when I got it, and didn’t need any attention. I had to make the little wooden spacer blocks that go inside the cowl where the lights attach. That just took a little time with a piece of oak, my bandsaw, and my drill press.
The seat belts for the front seats arrived, so I started working on getting them mounted. I located and drilled some holes in the floorpan behind the front seat for the mounting bolts, and I cut some pieces of heavy steel plate to serve as reinforcements. I need to weld the nuts for the mounting bolts to the plates, paint them, and attach them beneath the floorpan. It would have made more sense to do this a couple of years ago, before I refinished the floorpan, but at that time it was simply not on my mind…
