Received a new rear view Mirror and a used dimmer mount in the mail from eBay yesterday.

Would you beleive the dimmer mount was already refinished black and even came with screws and lock washers.

Was also notified that Miss Agatha is in the paint booth looking for her first coat of color this week.

Next week, well week after this should be a pick up. That is going to be a long drive up there to see her. Hope she likes her new paint/color. She was gray from the factory and is now Old English White.
 
Well I have all the insturments and switchs etc for the dash setting on the shelf all clean and nice and ready to install except for the water temp oil gage and the headlight ring for the keyed switch, guess I will get a new water/oil pres gage. Need new square o rings to mount them in the dash yet as well.

What do you mean what have I done with them
 
Ahh, actually I got the tac and speedo on eBay and they are in great shape.

I think I am ready to go except for some very large Tony orders.
 
You should still be able to use the old gear drive generator on the 1275 if you want to. It is my understanding that it will bolt right up. That's my plan, at least.
 
And that is a fact Drew, the generator from a Bugeye will fit.
 
Noop, and had a heck of a time getting this one. However you can get them from moss, quite expensive though.
 
You just missed one on eBay. Went for about $55. Probably would need to be rebuilt, but they do come up now and again.
