Wire Harness

Working on the new wire harness.  The 4 gauge wire takes a special, and expensive, crimper. 

Thanks to a certain group of people in Florida for laser stamping my wires.

Today

Seat frame is welded. I can take it in to get it covered now. 


Side teardrop rear windows are cut. Will need to remove them when it’s time for the fabric covering but they are protected for now. 

Interior Color

I’ve really struggled with the interior color. It was originally blue but also was red at some time. I started out with red but have changed my mind back to blue. No big deal really. 

The last photo is without a flash and shows the true blue color. The second  ashtray photo is without a flash. 

The inspection covers were stapled on. I removed the staple and installed some tinnermann nuts and B screws 

Horizontal Stab

Some corrosion on the stab necessitated the removal of some rivets and replaced with some new. Still hoping I don’t have to replace the top skin. 

new rivets in place

Old rivets drilled out and new ones going in.

Corroded and missing rivet heads.
