Got a whole ton of misc stuff done since last post. Fixed the trunk springs, trunk lid stays up now; got all the windows lined up and adjusted, weatherstripping and seals replaced, drivers side door hinges replaced; rebuilt and installed the dash clock; took her for the first test drive since the project started today!

Threw her in the trailer the other day for the hell of it. Main reason; I've been towing with frame straps/chains for years wanted to go to wheel straps. Worked out fine, everything fit. Test hauled for a bit, no worries. Wanted to make sure it would all fit and work and not find out something didnt fit the night before driving to Carlisle. LOL. All good.

Another note; with everything nearly done, I've been driving the car around here pretty regularly, she's doing about 10 MPG total. Not that I care. Runs like a scalded dog. Starts on a bump of the key. My foot might have got heavy and contributed to that MPG.
