Today was a sort-it-all-out day; accomplished the following:
Picked up the paint yesterday and delivered it to the body shop. The color was correct and I learned a great lesson: Don't ever, ever have some of your paint put into aerosal cans BEFORE you've had a chance to make sure you've got the right color! I now have a dozen cans of a beautiful pea-green color!
Today we sorted and cleaned all the remaining parts and put them into groups for eventual delivery to the stripper and painter: The internal front half body parts, the outside body parts, the foot pedals assembly and the steering components. By the way, am having a devil of a time removing the steering wheeel from the column; any suggestions?
Pounded out the one fender that had a large crease in it. Looks amazingly good for some strong arm finishing! Will apply some finesse next week to finish the job.
Found the missing brake parts for the right rear wheel in a box sent along by the seller of extra parts; they were in the bottom and had escaped my attention! Called the brake shop and let them know so they wouldn't have to search for a full set! Will make a visit there on Monday with the found parts.
Cleaned up the backing plates along with the front axle assembly and the rear axle and sent them all on their way via my helper to the stripper and then to be painted.
That's all for this day!
Regards,
Jim
