I miss the red leaves in the fall. I do not wish to experience smog. When it's sunny here it's always that blue.
-
very nice paint. Both color and the job.

The largest in the 15 years since I moved here was 7.2. we lost 2 jars of homemade jam.

Good luck.

if you pull the water pump check the water distribution tube. It's behind the water pump.

It's a left hand drive so I doubt Scottish/Irish. I've lived in Scotland for years and never heard the police called :Polis.

go for it. Just get a car that has been recently gone over. Rebuilt engine would be a big +. On your list I don't see a reason for electronic ignition or 12 volt conversion. Just me. The rest I have done to my coupe except for the shoulder belts and all my driving is on country roads. -
I doubt that Dan. Many more were vets then.
-
everyone wants a convertible anyway.
-
just doing my part

talk about "more doors".

Happy Birthday Marines! The photo below is of me in 1974. Doesn't seem like 44 years ago. I bought a T shirt last week that says "Only 2.3% of the American population has served in the armed forces. Less than 1% has served in the United States Marine Corps. The Few, the Proud the Marines."

Original rims 16". front disc is scarebird.
-
I run disc on all 4. No clearance issues with the coker www radials that I bought.
-
I have run Coker radials www on my coupe for a year now. I'm really happy with the way the car steers and tracks. No problems yet.
-
I just copied one of the originals that was still mostly complete. I do believe that there was 3 per side. It's been 3 years or so. It took me awhile to realize how they went together as well. I finally found a drawing in the parts manual that did a good enough job of showing it.
-
Rusty Hope, Scarebird and AAJ are the 3 that I know. I used the last two on my 47 Dodge. Very happy with both and no problems with either.

Here's a video of the final wrapped bumper. The guy that I had do it said the wrinkles are because the cheap wrap that I bought would not stretch. Look at the chrome bumper guards and the bumper and you see the contrast.
-
tite seal window flashing. I used it in my coupe a few years ago. Works well.
-
I had to wrap my rear bumper as I haven't found a good chromed one yet. It's in my rebuild thread. Lessons learned: you need more than one person. Secure the object being wrapped really well, don't go cheap on the vinyl wrap. I went cheap as I hoped that I would find a decent bumper quickly. It's still holding up well after a year. It looks close enough to chrome that no one has commented about it after being in 4 car shows this summer.

Have been sandblasting sheet metal so there hasn't been much to video.
-
Great job. I would have used the same color though.

I also use gas. It's much easier for us beginner welders.
