And there is the stickers on the air cleaners. By the book they should be more to the left. Even though my original was actually on the right of the snorkel.

The sticker is a little annoying. Screen print would be better.

One oil breather is my original that was rusty and dented up. I did my best hammering it back.

The other is a reproduction that I bought from The Mother Brain.

And now I have spares to pack away.

Looking through Hagerty for a restoration insurance policy. I think it is time for that coverage at least.

That did not pop up but I did get a computer quote for a $40,000 guaranteed value coverage. $623 a year. I don't know if that would cover me while restoring the car, I need to look in to it. But that coverage would allow me to get a plate.

Those little details that hang around and bug you.

I need to get a container of black plastidip so that I can coat my battery hold down like original.

Little steps must be celebrated just as much as the big steps, if you want to keep up momentum and enthusiasm.

My headliner bow retainers are cleaned up. My bows are still in the original headliner. I need to pull them out one at time to clean them then install into the pockets in my new headliner. I don't want to mix them up. 20241002_193348.jpg
