Happy Easter everyone!  Just enjoyed a video chat with our kids and their families.  The Easter snow keeps coming.  Decided to keep the Plys in storage into May.

Well done Chet and Tom!

Chet, you're right, the bracket was in a Bulletin.  I don't remember which.  I thought it was installed closer to the transmission than differential.  I think John is using one.

Digging deeper into the archives; I recall the running board had slots on top surface that accepted tabs on the outside trim.  This kept trim tightly secured when the trim bottom was folded over.  Or maybe my memory is off.   frank

A T shows original configuration.  Reproduction parts instructions I purchased from Missouri company said to cut outside piece to fit between their end trim.  If familiar with wood working, I say the original ends are "coped" to mesh.

Chet,  Thanks for the humor!  I, for one, can use a break from everything.  Hoping everyone is staying healthy.   frank

Chet, Nice going with headlamps.  Soldering those original parts is a memory.  Like how you approached front turn signals.  frank

Good that you found your tag.  As you say, we've all done that, but not everyone will say so.  Haven't lost the modern car in the parking lot, yet very close.

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

Very creative Chet!  May have to borrow your idea.

Nice Chet.  2nd that for the tools unless you use once and give to someone you don't like.  lol

Chet, you have it now.  As you see for this roadster, the vacuum port and switch are on opposite sides on the motor than Ted's.  Don't think it makes much difference though.

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

I keep forgetting about my roadster!  Aforementioned applied to sedan. Believe roadster is as Ted described, but my vac line not connected at this time. Apologize for any confusion.    frank

Yep, looks like a rod in progress!
