Got the new thermostat housing in, it will make getting a lower radiator hose to fit a lot easier and will look neater......Before and after





Also neatened up the towers for the windshield wipers, there used to be a nut holding the unit together and a threaded stud that a big nut went on that held the wiper arm on...........cut off the stud and tapped the shaft and threaded the inside of the tower guide to eliminate the nut.....cleaned it all.....I'll make a decorative cap that will probably be installed and just install the wipers if needed..........



also got the heater hoses installed and heres a shot of the Volkswagen Beetle wiper assembly modified and installed, also the defrosters are hooked up.....



Waited all day yesterday for the Fedex truck to show up with the parts I need, he ended up showing up after everyone went home according to the tracking info.....hopefully that won't happen today.....Wheels and Tires are promised for Friday....going to the upholstry shop in a week and a half



Ken

Looks like I'm stuck with the windshield, I think I can fix the rubber seal to make it look a lot better, If I can make it acceptable I'll leave it in.....If not....Out it comes and I'm back to flat 2 pc glass with a seam.........which is what I should have done in the first place......

Not sure about Wisconsin but you can get anything passed in Illinois (Chicago), .................... with a big enough check!

Ken,

Is that Thermostat housing a Qualitek product?
