I test fit the front cowl today (before I go on, two points: asking your wife to help with something like this risks divorce, and it's amazing how the neighbour from two doors down offered to help "any time I needed him" but only after he watched the wife and I wrestle the cowl into place).
Not all that satisfactory as the years and moving the cowl around have obviously warped it a bit and it will take some doing to get all the holes lined up.

A long tapered punch is your friend for getting all the holes lines up.

Well, it's now officially a Chevrolet. I've carted this bowtie around for quite some time and today it finally got installed. I can stop my irrational fear that one day I'd lose it.

Roof hatch, front fender halves on and brush guard installed just for fun. Looking a little more like a HUW.

Winter
Without a heated garage winter slows things down.
However I'm happy to report the 216 engine is undergoing an expert (no, more than expert) overhaul and so far there has been nothing but good news. A company called the Filling Station in Lebanon Oregon had been magnificent in providing parts...highly recommended. The plan is to assemble the complete engine on a test stand and run it before putting it in the HUW. A nice inside job was rebuilding the correct Carter W-1 carburetor. What are the chances that I remember where all these parts go and I don't have one or two left over? That seems to be the way... Note also the Carter marketing on the cover: CAR bure TER ...very clever!!!
