Great progress. You are about a year ahead of me in my restoration so your well documented progress is very helpful.

Superlative, Chet! A reminder to have a good ground to your lamp housings. frank

Thanks Frank I got it covered. I run additional ground wire for all lamps unless impeccable continuity to ground.

Russ, Glad you see some value in my compulsive rambling.

Hi Frank

I assume you mean the vacuum valve. Had to do something. I need to pass a one time inspection and the windshield wiper has to be functional. The only other solution would be electrical and that just wouldn't be right. Actually the exterior on/off valve would possibly be OK for inspection but still not correct for the car. The aquarium air valve fits the 3 'F' test. Form - close, Fit - acceptable, Function - right on. Can't beat the price.
Cheers, Chet

On the home stretch!

chetbrz · February 26, 2020, 11:58:07 AM

Ted, I'm not sure about the home stretch but certainly rounding the last lap.

frankp · February 28, 2020, 06:09:12 PM

Chet, lookin' real good! I'm sure you'll put this extra day to good use.

Almost finished with all the Mechanical Work.

Making good progress

Many Thanks go out to Rich, < 29plycoup > for a headlamp plug to finish off my lights.
Quite a job getting the lights setup properly. Especially with 91 year-old parts.
