With the
car now drivable and all major systems working properly, I can concentrate on getting the final bits and pieces all buttoned
up for DMV inspection.
Here is
the list:
The tires
arrived a couple weeks ago. I decided on Nankangs because first, they are one
of the only companies that makes the correct size; and second, because the
reviews have been good about them.
I also
ordered trim fasteners (part no. BSF078P) from Bresco in the UK. This car requires 42 fasteners. Howard was
awesome to deal with!!
As for
actual work on the car…the bumper bolts were finally switched out to the correct
smaller ones that I got from Aaron in Oregon a couple months ago. They just look “right”
now.
But, there
is one hole that does not align on the right (passenger) front corner. That is
for another day.
Her sun visors
(sunscreens) were installed. I decided to put in the original black ones that I
had rather than the ones I got from Aaron just because they were the ones that
came with the car.
And, to
make Old Biddy an official car again, her “Commission No.” plate was riveted in
place! I had to look at the photos from nine years ago to make sure which way
up was correct.
The
dashboard screws were all attached as well. No picture to prove it though. The
next task is getting the wheels blasted and powder coated and the tires installed.
Then hopefully the body can get color sanded so all the trim can be applied.
Thanks for visiting.
