Hello. Well, there is more progress made as I come up with the funds to pay for it. Most chrome parts are installed and most glass is in. Turn signals are being installed now. The small round lights at the base of the rear tail lights are now turn signals for the rear. We are installing 1929 lights in front on the bumper as front end turnsignals. I like them because of the design. I have purchased auto insurance ($65,000) and Maryland Historic tags alowing registration for a set 1937 tags. I have a beautiful set of trunk hinges that I had chromed but the attachment holes for the trunk lid are spaced differently so we can't use them. Must also use the bumper plates as they are because I can't locate better ones. Also, a new Gas cap will not fit. The window vents came back with a beautiful finish but we forgot to send the fixed verticle bars and it is too late to send them out. The wedding is July 24th and I am prodding to have the car finished. Yep, we are now talking about two weeks from yesterday!
Attached are 12 fotos showing the current status as of Sunday (yesterday). Thank you,

A great day for all.

Thank you for sharing the pictures! I assume that the car gave no trouble; now that the LaSalle back home, are you ready to maybe change the outside color? (who knows, maybe you have another person to mary; you cannot go with the same car!)

I will install six each 1940 custom mag wheels made for new radial tires for my travel cross country. Adding turn signals and additional lights up front too. Also, will install seatbelts and an electric radiator fan system if I can't get the engine heat down.

Ty,

Nice touch with the bumper plates....

"Something old, something new!"

Still waiting for a reason to go to Sydney to check out the cast plates.

Regards and well done, Dad!

Many thanks John,
Your new bumper plates from England and Cel's new hood bars from Australia will look outstanding. I now have an international car.

Sorry John. I had you confused with Steve Passmore. Steve just sent me the cast plates he made for me in England. I think you were making a set for yourself in Sydney?
