Thread: A little more progress

Tweet

The past week has been really productive for us. It is cooling off a little and Dan has been getting home from work at a reasonable time, so we have been going to the shop every night, getting small tasks out of the way. Both doors are now hung and adjusted, and last night Dan installed the door weatherstipping he got from Steele Rubber Products. It is finally starting to look like a car!

We are still thinking that maybe, possibly, we might make Turkey Run at Thanksgiving if we keep up this progress. We pulled up pictures of 3 years ago when Don and I were trying to get our cars done for Turkey Run, and we didn't even get our bodies back from the paint shop until Oct 25th. So in the month we had left we got both cars wired, upholstered, and everything else done. That is giving Dan some hope that we might make it on his car.

As for my 27, I had some time last night while Dan was doing his weatherstripping to do more wiring on it. The back of the car is all done now (tail lights, brake lights, license light, fuel pump, and fuel tank sender) Now I can start concentrating on the dash gauges, engine wiring, and headlights. Pretty sure mine will be done on time for TR.

Here are some pictures of where Dan's car is now. Black is SO hard to photograph, no details show up. The body shop called this morning, I can pick up his finished cowl top at 5 pm today. Having that part skimmed and primed should free up some of our time to do other stuff.
