Progress-slow

Both doors on now. and the alum trim and latchs.

Getting real sparse for things to do here.

Wife asked when the bonnet goes on, I said when the next 500 bucks worth of parts is installed, that should give her a bit of modivation, I hope. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

You've probably discussed this before but what did you do restoration wise to your aluminium trim?

 

[jlaird]

Striped the anadozing off with "oven off" and polished the heck out of it with a wheel and then by hand.

I have located an anadozer who says he will do the cockpit trim and whe windsheld for 180 bucks

I've been toying with the idea of croming the cockpit surround pieces. I cromed the wings that hold the windshield yrs ago and they have always looked nice. I know you are really trying to go exactly origonal, but what do you think.

In fact I like the polished alum bit. The wings were cast rather than extruded so have a different look in any case.
