Parts, Paint, and More Parts

Last Saturday Tom spent a good part of the day driving to and walking around a couple of U-Pull-Em junkyards. He came back with a 2-speed wiper motor/pump assembly with all the ancillaries, two pairs of burgundy GM seatbelts, and amber front marker lenses. He did not, however, find any rear heater doors.

A quick phone to Corvair Ranch Monday morning and two used door are on their way. Now he just needs to buy the right color (and gloss) of red paint so that he can refinish the heater doors and air vents.

He did spend some time Sunday evening working on me. He applied the clear silicone between the glass and rubber gasket, installed the rebuilt master cylinder, laid out the carpet to flatten, and installed the first of the front windshield chrome trim pieces. So that means that two more items are crossed off the To Do list. We're still looking good for an end of December finish date.
