'61 Finally moving again

[Max]

That is looking real nice! You picked a perfect time of the year to be tinkering out in the garage putting her back together!

[Alan Mclennan]

Very nice!, it`s great when you first start putting the shinny stuff on!

[BigMike]

Wow, that looks amazing.

Did the column and pedals get repainted black? Did they paint the gas tank too?

[slickmainer]

wanna come work on my uni? turquoise and white?

[Astrowing]

I did the tank with the Eastwood tank paint last year, but need to touch it up as it sat in the garage for about a year. I've also got to rework the column, pedals, and steering wheel as they got some exposure to the elements while waiting for priming. They are and will be black. I do have the windows in now and windshield and back glass next Wednesday!

[Astrowing]

Got the lights working and seats installed, so did a short drive around the block this evening. Turn signals are still not working, so must have a wire switched. Progress!

[Astrowing]

Got the glass installed Thursday. Still chasing my turn signal problems, but I have headlights, taillights, and stoplights, and my dash gauges and lights. I've got my 1904 carb off rebuilding it again. The accel and fuel bowl weight and balls were held in with welsh plugs on this carb, so I got them out and tapped for hex plugs. I haven't see any pictures nor instructions with welsh plugs .

[MadMaxetc]

She is looking really good!

[F7BIGJOB]

Very Very nice!!

[Astrowing]

Got my turn signal problem solved. Corosion from sitting is the culprit. The base of the parking lights were coroded not providing a good ground in combination with another connector issue with the orange wire that feeds the flasher. It sure feels good to solve these problems. On to the next one!

[ken462]

That turquoise sure does look "slick" on these slicks

Nice work!

[fire truck]

She's purdy!

[slickmainer]

that is fantastic. did the same painter do the wheels, grill, buckets, and bumper?

[Toyz]

Gonna bring it Friday?
Paul

[Astrowing]

Yes, the same painter did everything, including grills, bumpers, radiator support and inner fenders. I do have the bed deck mostly finished except for picking up a couple of bolts for the braces and the side and back trim. No, I'm not going to make lunch on Friday, it's looking pretty wet for the forecast anyway. I'll plan to make the next one.
