everyone is going to want to know where you got the 'new' relays from

.......I just hope the old inards still work!!!

I've got enough of each to be sure of at least ONE good one per application. Unfortunately one of the relays has the bake-lite base and wires soldered together on the bottom half, which has the bracket that attaches to the car, so I can't re-plate that one. I'll figure something out!

Looks awsome! that is even more plating than I did.
I love the look of old parts that are fresh and clean again.

There were a few parts that I think were originally silver zinc chromate, but I love the look of the yellow chromate, especially on Hugger Orange! I can't wait to start boltin' the parts back on.............

She's painted! Here's just a tease (for me too!), as my buddies can't help unload it until tomorrow morning. I'm gonna take something so I can sleep tonight!!

You are so mean. How can you tease us like that? LOL!

Congrats. Looks good from what I can see so far.

Unloading on a cold, dreary, drizzly, icy Michigan morning.............great

.

**A WORD OF WARNING!!** If anyone uses a box truck rental for transport, and you build a simple wooden cart like I did, be sure to measure ALL of the widths of the pull-out aluminum ramps, on ALL of their trucks! I delivered the shell in a 16ft Penske, but picked it up in a 26ft Penske (they were out of the 16ft trucks). Believe it or not, the 16ft truck had a 24++ inch wide ramp, but the 26ft truck had a 23 inch wide ramp!! I had to get the car & cart up high enough (front then back) to move one wheel IN almost 2 inches, before we could roll it up the ramp. That was a PITA, but all went well in the end.

............home safe. Now, if I can only remember where I put everything!!

Wow! How cool it must be to walk into your garage and see that beautiful new paint job. Now all that careful work to put it back together in time for Summit Point. Get to work.

It looks great. Congrats
