We visited RMS on Saturday. The fuel tank and fuel system have been installed. This is believed to be the last of the mechanical issues. We won't really know for sure until they fire her up and drive her around. Right now that is difficult because it didn't have door handles . . . or any interior seats!
As you can see from the pictures, some important chrome has been put on and it is beginning to look like her old self! They have put the big chrome front grill and back bumper on, which really mean a lot to me in terms of progress and just plain beauty. The handles were installed this week and a large piece of chrome across the top of each door.There is still a list of outstanding issues:
-There have been problems with the chromer - they did not do some of the parts correctly so they had to be sent back, some of the work is pending this re-do by the chromer
-We had ordered some weather stripping for the front window and inadvertently the wrong stripping was sent. We had to send the old stuff back and order the correct part. We also ordered wiper blades for the wind shield wipers.
-Blake needs us to send him a picture of the blue and red painting that needs to be done on the emblems (front and rear)
-It needs to go back to upholsterer for a half a day or so in order to install the interior and interior chrome
- They will be installing a kill switch and a new starter button
- There is one spot in the front that needs to be buffed paint
- We bought new knobs and pedals to be installed as well as new rear reflectors for below the back tail light
- safety inspection, tires cleaned and looking new, license plates and holder installed
