Couple of small updates.......

I never liked how the original Brigance sticker looked re-installed as it was a bit too narrow to cover the removed Super Sport trunk emblem holes and I didn't want to use the remaining original I had left for this purpose. I went to my local sign guy and had him scan in the remaining original decal and then manipulate the image to fit the space I wanted to cover making it slightly larger but not out of proportion. (Original on bottom, new repro on top)

They were able to use the same reflective material as the original and 99.9% of the public will never know it's not an original - and it now fits perfectly. He made me a bunch extra to use up the whole sheet so if anyone needs a Brigance sticker let me know.....

Same sign guy also made me a show board and I'm happy how that turned out as well.

The "special washer" for the steering column was delivered today so I'm hoping to get back on assembling the upper column pieces in the next couple of days if I can carve out some time.

Nothing to update on any progress as I've been tied up doing other fun things.....

Wanted to give a big shout out to our very own Mark Johnson who sent me this cool custom machined clutch adjustment tool and the laminated page from the assembly manual.

Thanks Mark!

Happy to have a tiny bit of involvement with such a great car with great history and a great family! All I ask for in return is just an EXTRA cookie this November!
