The chrome trim, or "jewelry" as we call it, brings this Healey to life. It enhances the beautiful paint work. There is not an abundance of chrome on this car, but it seems to accentuate the body lines perfectly. 
The rear bumper, badges, hinges and trunk latch are the perfect vintage accents.
The headlight trim, badges and prominent grille set this car apart from all others...a work of art.
Today, we spent a few hours troubleshooting a few electrical problems. We discovered a few electrical "quirks" that didn't appear on the factory wiring diagram...Austin Healey. There doesn't seem to be a "standard" assembly procedure for this car. It seems they built it with the parts they had available...again, Austin Healey. But, whatever the magnitude of the problems we encounter, this Big Healey is spectacular.
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.
Can't wait for you to see it...
