Assembling the dash is not that difficult if you are a young man, but if you are 65 years old, it is a bit more strenuous. Speaking of age...a unique story. Tim and I celebrate our birthday on the same day, and this morning I discovered that Paxton, our welder, shares the occasion. What are the odds of three people involved in the same restoration sharing the same birthday? Maybe we should buy a group lottery ticket. Anyway, I spent the day under the dash...again. There were a few issues with the wiring harness that required additional work, but now it is complete. I also had the opportunity to install the new steering wheel. We plan to fit the control head for the steering wheel tomorrow.
John painted both front fenders today. Tomorrow they will be blocked one last time and buffed.
They should be ready for installation on Saturday.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
I love this Healey, and it loves me.
We're as happy as we can be.
