Thanks Tim,


The weather has been outstanding and the pieces to the puzzle are coming together.

Yesterday took the Formula to James in Wisconsin for some parts trading.

Need to get 500 miles on that rebuilt engine before storage soon.

Picked up some missing pieces and set James up with a nice part for his 71 Blue TA.

This forum has been very helpful along the way. Thanks again!

Doug, you're right the AC is critical to the wife's needs. Lots of little pieces to that aspect and F body stuff is different.

Anyone with AC stuff that are leftovers or sitting around doing nothing stuff. Let me know!

BTW: Have 2 jobs both which are busy. Squeezing in early mornings and late afternoon TA stuff...

Well the weather is changing to the cold side. Winding down in the garage. Switching to inside for interior restoration.

In the meantime. Ready for painted body this spring...

Missing pieces are coming in...

Steering column:



AC parts



Still missing the bracket and clamp. But, Steve S thinks he might have a couple...

Sent gauges out to Auto Instruments for face restoration and recalibration.
Factory Auto Air is doing a restored evaporator and heater box.
Going to see progress on bodywork Monday...

Good progress on bodywork! Finally, it's starting to happen...















Hearing the words getting ready to paint gave me goosebumps!

My thoughts exactly. Use a heat gun and you should be able to gently pull it off the metal. Then have a peice of plastic (a big ziploc bag works fine) to stick it onto for safe keeping.

Peel the damn things off and get new ones. Who are you going to be kidding trying to have one crappy sticker as the last remaining remnants of a once original car?

Rant over...

I didn't mean remove it to reinstall it, but to keep it for documentation purposes for the benefit of future generations, tens of thousands of years in the future. ;-p
