Thanks for all positive comments. I plan to post pictures of progress on the restoration, especially the final. I have spent the last day trying to figure how to disassemble the floppy handles to have them re-chromed. Talk about engineering and design, they are something. Very complex. Thanks to c49er at Antique Automobile Club of America for very detailed instructions on How To. Hopefully, with patience, I can get it done.
Today I am going to pick up clear coat for the paint I got for the body of the car. I needed to go ahead and get paint so the mechanic can paint the firewall while the engine is out. I spent weeks and untold hours trying to get the original paint color. I could not get paint with original color codes and bought a color chart on eBay and took the chip for "Heather Green" to Lowes to get a quart of paint to make a large color sample for duplication, as paint stores could not do color match on a small sample. I went to 4 different paint stores and made numerous calls. Some could not even do color matches for it. After researching auto paints and the store capabilities I chose Dupont near me and went back to get their best paint ("Chromax"). Low and behold the manager just brought up the paint, code, etc in the computer and did not need to do any color matching. The paint he mixed using the original code matched the color sample I had created. Hurrah! More latter on progress.
