I took pictures but it won.t allow me insert photos .I have run into this problem before it only allows 3 MB sorry.

I also was visiting a graveyard. Take it for a run every week .

I waited a year for my fabric ,but am happy with the material.

I love the look of your car the way it is .

I love your car .

Got my baby started yesterday no problem ,she is dying to get cruising and so am I .Too many puddles full of salt water will wait for a couple of good rainy days.

Quickest way to to if the generator is working is to start the car then remove a bat cable if it stops your generator isn't working .I will stand corrected if that isn't true .I had this same problem with my rebuilt generator ,did what you did drove it like that the whole summer just kept charging the battery .Eventually cleaned all contacts tore the generator apart again found oil cleaned it all repolerized the gen.and away it went.

What about a W/W base.

Love your posts the step by step reminds me of the restoration of my car in the 80s. I looked up the 54s love the looks of the hardtops .

It just wouldn't look the same.

Sniper you mentioned the ring between the breather and carb I found fruit jar rings made by Viceroy to be a perfect fit.

Not sure if this will help ,there should be an O ring between carb and breather I use the Viceroy rubber fruit jar rings fit perfectly. maybe they will keep any rust out.

Well my 48 original mirror was rectangular it had a red reflector on the back of it. couldn't find any similar. I now have two chrome clip on mirrors ,it took a while to get the mirrors adjusted properly but I am happy with them.
