Heck no :-)

Originals, but the car looks to sit a little high... bumper and brackets may bring it down to normal..... TBD.

Moving ahead every week, it feels great to get a few items completed that I couldn’t do at home. The little engine that could!!

Terry brought my car home while we were away down east at a wedding.... Cape Breton... wedding.... PARTY!!!!

The interior work looks good, and feels great to see progress.

Dan Vasic had my wiper motor restored at his “guy” and also he is restoring the mounting plate. This will now put my whole car to shame.

Thanks Dan, I was stuck on that item!!!!

Tomorrow dove grey.

Ryan: So excited for you. What a great thread, great car for a great family guy.

It will take a LOT more than a restored wiper motor and plate to put this car to shame.

Looking forward to the first drive.

Lynn, Plan to visit with your better half, we can get ice cream and go get Canadian speeding tickets together!!! 30% cheaper for you :-)

Lots of progress this weekend.

Horns restored and installed.
Rad side tanks painted gloss black, side seals installed, rad installed, top plate installed.
Inner and outer heater boxes installed.
Grilles, headlight doors, cleaned ready to install, they may be too Patina.... TBD.
Inner fenders are yet another step closer, I cleaned them again and again..
Front bumper cleaned, back side ground down and painted dull Aluminum. (I accidentally ran the 4 inch wire wheel over my wrist when it kicked back... 5K RPM had to get big bandaids at Shoppers :-( a boo boo on the dumb dumb. Not a deep cut but the outline of the grinding wheel is clear on my arm.

To me this is a lot of progress, I am still deciding if I will go back to front or front to back. (After I use the never dull and Mother’s chrome polish on the back bumper I will prep the lights mounted in the bumper and mount it.. I guess Back to front it is)

So I have a daily ritual now of cleaning my inner fenders... tomorrow they get a treatment.

I installed the grilles, headlight doors, etc, that makes quite a visual change.

I will hit my front bumper with never dull, then Mothers Chrome polish and then install it. The supports are all powdercoated and the fasteners are all restored.... I can wait to see that underbite!!!
