1957 Euro Palm Green/Sand Green, Logos, Semaphores

Just a little update.    Restored the semaphores, stripped dash back to original paint.

And oh ya. I’m gonna ship that torsion bar and a few bucks to you.      When in Colorado, I installed the right spring plate upside down (notch was downward). so the grooves barely were hooked onto the torsion bar since they were on outer half.  So, the spring plate slipped off of the grooves created that issue  I took it apart, flipped spring plate and it was fixed quickly.

Next:

Ordered new windows rubber and felt and gonna fix drivers door that has a janky busted hinge   Gotta wait for another 50 degree day tho

Where else would you do them???

Is there a “kit” you can buy to redo the front window?

I’m glad I didn’t know how monotonous this window rubber was before I started ……..or else I would have never done it.   But now I’m in too deep.  This is rubber for one bus door   Jesus   I have no idea how Kcw can install all this without killing a new paint job

Haha! “You can do it” I remember hearing that many times last year.

Are you going to put the correct rivets in??!? 🙂

One window down. One to go.  Yeh, Franz.  I replaced the correct rivets.    Used a ball pean hammer and nail set to round over.
