The hood and cowl panel are finally back on the car. We also installed the original owner's Ontario vanity plate, and the original steering wheel completing the interior which is all assembly line, including the carpeting, but for the GM NOS dash pad.
A comprehensive systems check confirmed everything works except the cowl flapper which we attribute to a bad ground between the flapper solenoid and the flapper frame - on our to-do's for next week.
To-do's also include rocker trim, poverty caps, adjustment of the reverse lock-out linkage, front end alignment, wiper arms, Canadian under hood decals, and my favorite, installation of the Golden Mile Ontario dealer tail pan emblem that's due back from the restorer next week. All very doable before MCACN in 29 days.
This time I want to extend a big thank you to wheelhop who contacted me today about an original F7014 Goodyear spare tire for the trunk which could earn me some extra bonus points when the car gets Legends judged at MCACN.
Likewise, a big thanks to Pete for the links to the Golden Mile-related items he found on Facebook.
