Just noticed the 4 hole steering wheel, a very nice touch that is sooo tough to find. Love the details on your sweetheart.

Thanks I wanted to include items that were on the car in the 70s (see pic below from 3rd owner). This includes the steering wheel, gauge on the column, and the air freshener. However I believe I figured out that the red character hanging from the mirror is a Russ Berrie "We need each other" love monster from 1975 which I'm still searching for! Also note I included the Thrush decal on the quarter window. Goal is to take then and now photos.

The original boot shown below (or "seal" as described in the assembly manual) was discontinued very early so it is rarely seen and hard to find but in the past couple of years it has started to be reproduced. The service replacement boot, as you can see, looks nothing like the real original.

Thanks for the info Jon, realized I forgot to install the cover above the boot.

Thanks I bought it!

I drove the car to have breakfast with some friends this morning about 45 minutes away. The temp held perfectly throughout the drive. I noticed that I still have a vibration issue on the freeway, not nearly as bad as it was. So I'm going to have the front wheel and tire assemblies checked and finally get the rotors turned. It happens in 4th gear around 3200rpm. When I'm in 1st hear at the same rpm the problem isn't there, and when I put it in neutral from 4th the vibration issue is still present. It definitely feels like its coming from the front. Anyway, it's still a blast to drive!

The holes lined right up for the front but I'll need to order up hood pins. The locking pins I have would require more cutting of the hood which I want to avoid since it's a real A&A.

Jose, I love, love the car! Only thing I would do is put less wide tires on it.other than that it’s patina perfect.

I have a few wheel and tire options. For now I'm going for the look the car had in the 1970s.

Not much progress on car but I did manage to install the shifter boot cover. Sorry for the dust.
