    All my parts cars were 70-71 models. That is probably why I only have chrome screws.

    Hey Slim,
    This Friday looks Sunny and 78* for Bellmore. Will #508 makes it debut there?

    Tomorrow is dmv day. So maybe...

    The rest of today's projects included-

    Sitting at my workbench for an hour and straightening out the cowl screen. What a tedious job. I think I went cross eyed. I cleaned it up afterwards. I'll give it a shot of satin black tomorrow.

    Cleaned up my new cowl seal thanks to Bruno!

    Replaced the toe kick screws with originals. Someone put hardware store screws in there.

    More silver spray paint removal on the choke assy and dimmer switch

    Looks like my order from Todd is being delivered tomorrow

    Actually, you make an appointment, and the few times I have used it, I was in and out of there in 30 minutes or less. It helps if you have all your paperwork filled out and ready to go. You can download and print everything out, well, at least I can.:)

    Tell us the story behind the license plate frame. Looks too good to be an original. But then again, you are the luckiest guy I know when it comes to finding parts.
