tony barnhill Silver Member Great Pumpkin Registered: 11/16/02 Posts: 21312 Loc: Gurley, Alabama, USA	Body is finished...suspension/steering finished....engine compartment finished.....gas tank/plumbing/wiring finished.....bumpers rechromed & awaiting installation (hardware on way)...radiator reworked....starter/generator back from electric repair shop... Tomorrow windshield assembly goes to glass shop for new glass, rubber, screws, posts, etc. to prep it for installation on body... Also awaiting new RH door latch (thought all I needed was a new spring but when I installed it, lever popped out of place) ........& tomorrow I start prepping engine/trans for installation. hmmmmmmm....what've I forgotten??? {Heater! I forgot the heater....core has been checked & is good...just need to paint case & bolt in place. But I'll probably wait until after the engine's in.} Attachments Edited by tony barnhill (06/10/08 07:22 PM) _________________________ Tony "theAutoist" Barnhill SUPPORTING VENDOR

tony barnhill Silver Member Great Pumpkin Registered: 11/16/02 Posts: 21312 Loc: Gurley, Alabama, USA	Originally Posted By: Baz Oh, you forgot to put the steering column and switches on before the wheel! Steering wheel's just temporarily in place so I can move it around & so my 2-year old grandson can play in it this weekend. After all, according to my will it - & all my other cars - are his anyway! _________________________ Tony "theAutoist" Barnhill SUPPORTING VENDOR

mccalebr Jedi Warrior Registered: 05/24/05 Posts: 762 Loc: GA, USA	Looks great, Tony. I understand about the grandson...I do the same...no, not to let the grandkids play, I DO THE PLAYING! I went ahead and fabbed up the steering column and wheel when mocking up the seats for the Spridget Project...for fit..that's my story (sticking with it)...funny, there were 'VAROOM' sounds emanating from my garage, and I was the only one there Ray _________________________ The "Spridget Project" '62 Sprite RestoMod( http://www.raysmg.com/rays_mg_midget_62_sprite.htm ) '73 Midget (show) '60 TR3A (driver) ray@raysmg.com www.raysmg.com
