No pictures since the last update but been working behind the scenes to round up some more correct bits. Washer motor/pump is at Steve Hackel's for him to work his magic on it, expect to get that back by the end of the month. I have a set of correct restored front and rear bumper bolts, trans crossmember bolts, sway bar links, upper and lower control arm bushing bolts, Lower control arm bolts, fender to cowl washers, and some others that I can't think of at the moment coming my way - so that should go a long ways towards cleaning up that issue. Through Jody Anderson I was given a somewhat geographically close contact who is off the grid (e-mail, cell phone, internet) that has what I hope are the balance of the things (all original parts, not repro) I need to convert the car back to manual steering, an original voltage regulator, original radiator tanks, and an NOS set of standard 62 Impala hubcaps (after I spent a small fortune restoring the ones I had). Looking forward to getting confirmation from him in the coming weeks after he rounds up things from his stash. Still have my appointment for 4/7 to get the seat trim installed. Will post pictures once I have more to show.
Oh....and the car is officially registered for the Fine 09's display at MCACN 2025. Thank you to Bob and Jody and especially everyone here for your support and encouragement. This has been a vision of mine since we got the car back in 2009 so I am overjoyed to be able to do this.
