POLISHING AND PICTURES

Tim ordered new polished aluminum cockpit trim from Moss Motors.  When it arrived we noticed the finish needed attention.  Furthermore,  the mouldings were not the correct length.  So, we decided to refinish the originals.  They look great.
Tim was helping put the final touches on the car this week.  He needed photos for a sign he was doing for the Hilton Head show, so we moved the Healey outside where the lighting was better.  Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to post the new sign on this blog when it is completed.



Pictured above, is Tim in his "new" Healey.  I believe he loves this car as much as I do.

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.

Later...
