I met with my mentor to continue working on my car. To make sure everything matched, I painted a few more parts. I cleaned and painted the valve coverings, water pump, and some of the bolts. I attached the water pump and valve coverings to the engine inside the car. Next I put on the new passenger side header gasket, along with the new header. After I finish connecting a few more parts to the engine, it should be ready to run.

I wanted to paint the engine the original color before I put it back in the car, so I painted it the factory color, Chrysler Corporate Blue. Before I could hoist the engine up and put it back into the car, I had to polish and paint some of the areas underneath the hood. After I polished the K-member, I primed it and painted it black. I attached the valve coverings and the motor mounts to the engine. Once everything was dry, I hoisted the engine up and set it in the car.
I finished laying the rest of the larger pieces of Dynamat. Then I went back through and cut smaller pieces to fill the places where there were gaps. When I was finished doing that I installed the new carpet in the car. I had to trim the sides of the carpet so that it would fit inside the car. Before I could put the side panels and seats back in the car, they needed to be polished. To do this, I used upholstery cleaner to polish them. When I was finished, I installed the side panels and the seats in the car.
