Opened up the fresh air box this morning. Full of dirt and crusty seals. Cleaned it out. Ordering new seals today. 

Buffed the roof. 

We’re tag teaming this one today. JJ is on door  assembly, I’m starting on the Clara kit. 

We will build it if it comes.

JJ knocked out door window install, and door seals. Currently working on safari assy.

It’s definitely a Clara kit. Sheets and needs a little fitting…😎😎

We will build it if it comes.

Few pics form Saturday. Drivers door had cracks at the mech, due to the broken mech. All better now.

Safaris done as well as door panels. 

We will build it if it comes.

All right… We’re almost there Buddy!

Shifter rod cup front edge had worn away, pops out going into R,2, & 3 Welded and ground it back to shape. Works great now!!

Adjusted the drag link to center the steering wheel, then fit and installed the pedal pan.

 

Driver side taillight housing was missing the screw terminal wire connector. I had no luck finding one around here. Had to compromise and use a later model spade terminal.

Rear turn signals were acting up. Tracked it down to a broken connection in the t-signal switch. Black/red wire had broken loose, forgot to take that pic. Good to go now.

We will build it if it comes.
