'63 Midget - Question & Actually Got Things Done!

Re: '63 Midget - Question & Actually Got Things Do

Tony, midgets started having the 'extras' about then..so they likely did come out with it first.
So I stand corrected on the gasket..sorry bout that!

Good luck with the rest of the assembly, you're almost there!
 
Re: '63 Midget - Question & Actually Got Things Do

Looking great Tony, what a great car!

I'm sending you a PM about something I may need.
 
Re: '63 Midget - Question & Actually Got Things Do

Very nice. Looks a lot like my '63. Now I know how the dash is supposed to look. Side moldings help the lines I think, I should think about putting some back on mine. My cockpit "cowling" is bare aluminum. Supposed to be something else eh? Got my tonneau fixed and a hefty order on the way from VB, hope to get the motor tranny back in and things squared away enough to get her back on the road in a week or so.

PS
Is that Tartan Red? I need some touch up but don't what color she was painted, sure looks like the same red I've got, correct for '63 I believe? Although I see some light blue under the engine bay flat black so I guess mine was Ice Blue originally.

PSS
My wiper pivots actually interfer with my hood, if I open it too far they hit.
PSSS
Is the grill supposed to be perfectly straight across the top? Mine has a slight wave in it on both sides, top. Almost symetrical. Was going to straighten tonight but stopped as I'm not sure it isn't supposed to be like that (highly doubt it!).

Yep, Tartan Red

Mine is rolled under like Devin's.

Well, now I have a real reason to go to LotO....to check out windshield weatherstripping installation methods!

Just run your thumb across it from time to time, it will straighten out.
