Red Top!

Image
Installed the special order red top this week.  Looks great!  Even has zip out window! Installed second voltage regulator we ordered from another source.  Ignition light now acts as it should, and voltage shows battery is charging.  Will have to return first new regulator. Drove car on old tires.  Lots of shimmy going on.  Should have new tires on better rims in a day or so, will check again then. The list is getting shorter!

Travels and Too Hot!

Image
Slow progress due to summer travels and too hot to work, so it's been a while since an update. Dash is painted and reinstalled, looks great: We have a new steering wheel, not installed yet.  Cockpit trim and seats returned from Too Tall Tim and installed, he does nice work: Got fuel gauge working with a new sending unit.  Need to get new tires installed.  Rcd new red top, need to install it.  Charging system still not working, rebuilt generator tests fine, need to diagnose new voltage regulator.  New grill installed, needs some fettling to improve fit.  Btw, fettling is a British term for fine tuning. We're getting down to hopefully a short list of remaining items.
