Plans for 2005

  • New top with glass, weather-stripping, well liner, boot and headliner

    • Estimate received and scheduled for late Fall

  • Refurbishing the top lift system with new hoses and rebuilding the pump

    • Hoses ordered and received from 50Resto

    • New piston for right side needed and ordered from 50Resto

  • Sub-frame connectors and strut brace

    • Will order from White's Pitstop in Lansing, IL along with under-drive pulleys

    • Will take the car to a local shop for a chassis alignment

  • New weather-stripping around doors and trunk

    • Weather-stripping kit ordered and received from 50Resto

  • 302 Stripe along the hood riser

  • Seat replacement or re-upholster  - front and rear

    • Complete!

  • New carpeting with sound-deadening under-layment

    • In-process.

  • Trunk work - enclosing the sides and rear and new carpeting

    • Carpeting in.

  • New windshield-wiper arms

    • Completed

  • The front radiators will be pulled out and the fins straightened to improve cooling.  Also a new air-deflector will be installed.

  • The door hinge pins and rollers will be replaced to help the doors stay open.

  • Driver's side rear window has stopped working.  Will look at fixing or replacing it.  All windows need work, so the door panels will be removed and the windows repaired.

  • The car does not lock and I believe it is because the actuators are bad.  They will be looked at and replaced if necessary.

  • Rewiring the fog lamps

    • Completed
