@chines1 got the rear end all sorted out. The front brakes are in, too. I'm still considering a set of 60 mm GT brakes; my buddy John has an extra set, so I might use them.
Got a new TRW steering box (Carey said my old one had some flat spots).
My fake Carrera motor is also in place! I'll change the valve covers around so that they are forward facing. Exhaust and belly pan go on next week.
Making progress!
