Time in Driveway: 2 hours
A beautiful evening working outside in the driveway. Very quiet neighbourhood wise and a bit on the cool side but great to be out of the house and away from the TV set. It felt good overall and I had a sense of accomplishment when I was finished.
I finished pulling apart the front suspension on the purchased frame. The fasteners are ready for cleaning in the Eastwood tumbler and today I will start the clean up process on the removed suspension parts. I also want to remove the brake drums from the rear axle and see the condition of the brakes etc. I am still pondering the validity of the purchase price of the spare frame vrs the value of the parts harvested (vrs buying them separately which would have a freight and time component attached) but I need to move on and focus on the reassembly. There is no use at looking back at this point? I think it will be a bit of a wash overall...
I have started looking at the wiring harness purchase which I hope to do early next week. I plan to order a replacement ignition switch, light switch, horn button and wiper switch..I may need a new solenoid...not sure yet....
I have the chassis parts on order that I need plus the parts needed to put the spare motor back together. Included is 2 TR6 wheels and tires that I am using for the rear wheels on the '57 reassembly.
Today I have to focus on cleaning up the garage and putting tools away. Also my wife bought me a set of combination wrenches at an estate sale that complement my tool box collection in a good way. Now I have multiply versions of the same size which comes in handy when working on cars. All for $10.00
