Got, what I hope to be, the last set of parts that needed yellow-zinc electroplating...
I should be able to mount back the front suspension and brakes...

Thank you. It should look better once all installed 
A quick update... not much done, waiting on the 6 bolts that hold the struts in place so that I can install everything back... plus I forgot to take one of the two helper arms that hold the cross bar in place (and the rear hood catch). The guys at Seminole Metal Finishing are great, they told me to just take the two parts and they will do them at no extra charge...completely my fault but they will do them, that is great!
In the mean time. This is assembled...
Also removed the drip tray, cleaned it well... then noticed that the drain pipe was loose... I will use some clear two-part epoxy to fix it.
Not sure how to clean the inside to get rid of the overspray in there...
Reconditioned hardware ready to go...
I will need to redo the rubber trim. Peter has come to the rescue with some that he had left over from when he did his...
Update with the rubber trim in place...

It goes in the trunk.... catches the water that comes through the vent opening in the hood and then routes the water, via a hose, to the outside again...
It seems that I did not take a photo of before... I will post one after I do the install again. But here is one from another car so that you see where it came from...

Not much progress... work keeping me busy for long hours and whatever is left is used to work on finishing stuff from the honey-do list...
COA came in. Car is a matching numbers car... with the donor case it will no longer be the case, but at least the third piece is original and has the number. Nevertheless, I will keep the original block in case I ever come across oversize bearings...
And these parts are done...
