More potato photos of the '58, keep leaving my camera upstairs.

- Cleaned up passenger floorboard inside, seam sealed it and added a fresh coat of paint.
- I worked on fitting the engine lid properly, and have the gaps factory fresh.
- Front hood took about 4 hours and some custom brackets, but I've got it fitting well and actually locking and unlocking. Was touch and go for a while on whether I'd have to run period-correct leather straps instead of a hood latch.
- Hood seals are in.

And then I took the passenger door from this:

Six main components and seven seals make up the opening windows for the passenger door. It's a real pain to get everything in and perfect, and my hands paid the price for sure. Who needs stitches when you have crazy glue?
