Ghost, can't wait till I get to that point. Fixing the small alignment problems and oversights, part of the game!  ;)

The front fenders had a big flaw right where they bolt to the running boards that would have bothered me a lot, so I had to repair the area and then had to scuff the whole fenders for a reshoot. Waiting for a warm day to coat them again. I guess I have time until next spring to get everything right.

Spring will be here before you know it.......................right??? :-\
I'll bet KiwiJeff is wringing his hands right now.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Winter is not even here, and I am wanting spring allready.  I got a little more done on the Buick. The driveshaft is built and installed, The last steering joint should be here early next week, and the windshield frames are at the glass shop getting fitted for new glasses. I am hoping the weather is nice towards the end of next week for a around the neighborhood shakedown run. Nothing to extreme just enough to scare the kids and some little old ladies. HEHE

Yes, Spring! I
ll vote for that.  8) I'm still plumbing water tanks and it's time to drain a couple of them.  It's supposed to get down to 25 Tueaday night. Man another season gone with no real progress on the roadster. :( At least the tree trimming netted enough wood to heat the shop this winter.  ;D

It was really nice yesterday, so I decided to mount up the rear fenders, and tail lights.

Ghost, that's really gonna be a sharp ride! I don't think you'll meet another on the road that looks the same. Well done my friend! ;)

Looking good, Ghost. When are you going to take it around the block?

 I got the last piece of the puzzle last night, and it took me about an hour to hook up the final steering joint. Then I fired up the old girl and drove her over to the 7 eleven and treated her to some high octane gas, then ran around the neighbor hood until it got dark. I got to say with the 401 nailhead she has some moves, pulls real hard, and with the 5 speed will bark the tires going into second.  I had a hard time putting her away last night. Onward and upward.
