Thanks guys & sorry that I haven't updated this thread even though I've made progress on this car.
Well here we go.
Next thing on my "To Do List" was to figure out what was wrong with the lights as they didn't work. I'm not very good with wiring and electricity business so I was a bit afraid of this part. Luckily the problem was solved easily by cleaning up wire joints. Everything else worked just fine, but other one of high beam lights didn't work. Here's a shot with the headlights on.
So I went to a local American Car Parts dealer and bought new Sealed Beams for those high beam lights. After installing them on place everthing worked just fine.
Then I took my tires to a tire shop so that they could put tires & wheels together. After that I put front tires & wheels on. It went easily, but I had some trouble with the rears. As I've said earlier, my rear tires are size 255/70/15 and with those 8" steelies they didn't fit very easily between brake drum and body. I had to jack the car up from under the frame, lower the rear axle and take off a rear spring to get tires fit inside the body. This had to be done on both sides. In addition, I had to cut a little material off from that replacement quarter panel. Front corner of the wheel opening was a bit different than on original body and because of that I could not fit my tire on place. After cutting some material off and repainting that cutting line with a brush, both of the tires were installed on place and they turn easily without hitting anything.
Here's a poor quality picture of the cut I had to do.
Then I fired up the car and drove it outside from the garage. It ran pretty nicely after adjusting the idle a little. Outside it was much easier to work as doors and everything could be opened.
I had some trouble finding suitable mounts for quarterpanel side trim. Classic Industries sells a set including those parts, but with shipping prices it would have been quite expensive and it would have taken a bit too long to arrive here in Finland. Luckily I found a set of plastic interior trim mounts from a local car parts dealer that looked pretty good. I bought that set and with some slugs (Is that the right word?) I installed them inside the trim. I can tell you that they fit perfectly on place and I'm really happy on the result.
Then I did some fine tuning on the brakes and fixed a windshield washer. I found out that the nozzles were full of dust and other unnecessary stuff so I cleaned them up with some compressed air. After that I washed the car and these pics were taken after I dried it. The paint looks much better in these pics as it is in reality, even though it looks okay in person too.
This morning I went to tech inspection. No major problems were found so I passed the inspection and now I'm able to drive with it as much as I want...Yee Haw!!! You bet I drove around with it a lot today.
Here are a couple of pics. They're not too great, but the weather wasn't very sunny either...
Looks like you have a good foundation in the Hot Rod Hobby...
It really looks great! Wheel and tire choice is perfect.
