I'm always too impatient to mount the m/c, never think to paint them!.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I had it out for several hours yesterday and It's a lot of fun. Definitely need those shorter shocks in front but they will be here Monday. ...and a heater! It was 35 degrees here so I was cruising in a coat but it was still pretty cool. I've got an old underdash heater from my 48; I think I'm going to pretty it up and use it.

This is a incredibly fun build to watch, Thanks so much for keeping up up to date with progress and pictures. That car has to be a blast to drive.

I got my heater in this weekend and it works great. I used the controls from the 49 and a generic OReilys heater valve. I also got the cowl seal on (without it the back of the hood was rattling) and my friend Kyle was kind enough to buff the whole car for me. The old paint came out looking pretty decent.Last edited by falconvan; 03-03-2013 at 05:33 AM.
We managed to get a couple of other small things taken care of. One was blacking out the front of the core support. When the sun hit the front of the car just right that green paint on the core...
