I came home and did up a parts order for front end suspension fasteners and the grommets for the firewall. Faxed it off to my supplier. Total time about an hour...
Late in the afternoon I went out to the garage again and spent about a half a hour doing some more metal prep.
During lunch my wife asked me how the Triumph work was going based on the fact that she had seen an E-Bay repost e-mail for a replacement valve cover that I had been looking at earlier in the summer. The valve cover is not much better than my current unit so little chance of purchase. I explained to her where I perceived myself to be schedule wise and reassured her I felt I was over the top of the hill(most of the body work completed,a majority of the parts ordered and the chassis components painted) and heading down the other side towards reassembly and completion... She looked at me with a skeptical glint in her eye. I explained that I wanted the car back together and ready for paint by May 5th? (the importance of setting a date is paramount if I am going to move this car forward) After my comment she asked my outright if I thought I would experience another major obstacle in the reassembly, that I had not anticipated, that would slow down the project???I said "no" based on what I have done so far and some of the reference material I have reviewed re TR3 restoration. She still remains skeptical. She also requested I dispose of the 1957 before the summer. I explained to her I am holding on to it until I get a better idea of what parts I need. (the best parts)...for some reason her eyes are definitely on the project and the clock has started ticking..
