Thanks, Bruce!

You too, Dave!

The wiring is all connected up front: lights, fans, horns and I’ll be working my way backwards shortly. It’s getting EEERILY close to having power connected!

Although not conclusive, my punch list is getting shorter and shorter

: A-Pillar trim/visors/top latch/door glass weather strip channel/rearview mirror, Interior door panels, Heater ducting and controls, Top (both hard and soft), trunk and hood rain gutters, Emergency brake cables, Dash wiring, Tail lights, final dash wiring.

I drop the seats off at the upholstery shop next week and they’ll do a quick modification to the seat base foam and covers for me. I’ll talk to them about the rest of the interior as well for when the time comes.

More to come…..

Cheers
Dave

I just read this: "Although not conclusive, my punch list is getting shorter and shorter: A-Pillar trim/visors/top latch/door glass weather strip channel/rearview mirror, Interior door panels, Heater ducting and controls, Top (both hard and soft), trunk and hood rain gutters, Emergency brake cables, Dash wiring, Tail lights, final dash wiring."

I need to go take a nap.

Now that’s funny, Lynn.

Working on the heater controls the next few days. Should be a fun contraption to make!

This car would be done already if I didn’t make everything functional!

But the again if I didn’t do that I couldn’t be called Super Dave.

Cheers
Dave

Yawn. I'm aware of their work. That's just an haphazardly, mass-produced version of Dave's singular masterpiece.

Good stuff, Steve!

Going to be interesting to see this go across the block.

Incidentally, this is the same 507 that sold at Kissimmee earlier this year.

The article I penned for the BMW Classic Car Club was just published for the quarterly magazine and I thought I’d share it. Dirk, the president, wants three articles and this is the first. Hopefully you enjoy the read! Let me know if you can ready the pages after loading the full sized photos and I’ll post small pictures,

Cheers
Dave
