The title sounds like one of those Before and After puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. Oh well...the '41 got to take a ride today to the upholstery shop. My steering wheel still didn't come in so yesterday I make a Flintstones version of a steering wheel so I could steer the car today. How's this for a custom job?
I followed up with Summit Racing this morning and they now have an incoming packing slip so they should have my wheel from Lecarra in the next couple days and they will get it shipped right out.
The trip to LA Trim went perfectly today thanks to Dan. Hard to put a price on friendship. Dan drove from his house in Rockford to Lowell to pick up the trailer from another Road Rodz member, Jimmy B (25 mi). Then he drove from Lowell to my house in Jenison (another 25 mi). Next we drove back to Lowell to LA Trim and dropped off the car (25 more miles). Finally, Dan went home from there (25 mi). That's 100 miles of driving just cuz he's a good friend. Thanks Dan!
Here we are loaded and ready to roll.
Here we are rolling into Lowell right at noon.
And here's a couple shots of LA Trim.
We plan to pick her up again on Friday so I get a couple days to review my assembly plan and get the remaining electrical parts ordered. Tom has still been unable to make it over for bleeding the brakes and checking the front end alignment. Hopefully, that can happen Friday night or Saturday because I'm planning to put the front end sheet metal back on Saturday or Sunday. I'll need to cut the inner fenders for spring tower, motor mount and brake line clearance before the front end goes back on. Yesterday's temp made it to 63 and today is about the same so I'm getting itchy to get the '41 back on the road.
