Kim,

Excellent....I`ll give Johhny a call this weekend to work out a few traveling and lodging details. Glad you`ll be attending the show.

Dan.

Phase II of the Post Sedan Resto took place Super Bowl weekend.

Bottoned up the rear with all the trim and chrome. The wheels and tire combo are just temporary until the correct YA wheels get restored. We also lowered the rear with an original set of rear springs...after this picture was taken.

Aside from a few small parts....smog pulley, master cylinder top, electrical connections, etc. The engine is ready to fire and brakes to be bled.

What a cool car! Great pictures...
Just out of my own curiosity, what is the current wheel/tire size combination?

Thanks.

Here are a few close up pics.








Notice the correct sender wire clip on the head.



Original caulking and an original rear cowl seal....fits so nice.

Why the static ground?
Those lifters alone should be music enough for Gregs ears.

Any access oils sending wire clips hanging around?

Looks great Dan. Keep up the great work.
