Switched from pondering and painting to knuckle-busting - installed a new-to-me distributor with new pieces and parts.

Thanks Rydog. Had some second thoughts today when the possibility of state requirements popped into the empty space I call my head. Not sure, but I'll carry it further just to see how it ends. Also moved a little closer to maybe solving the pot hole mention just a bit ago. Hmmm, might just work..... I'm also wondering if it would make sense to sound and temp insulate the front wheel wells just opposite the interior kick panels. Ken, I really don't know if the list is getting longer or shorter but we're moving forward!

Btw, please ignore the booger welds. It's just a prototype, not ready for prime time.

Not a bunch of progress on the wiper mod other than having a new mounting bracket fabricated. Had to make some room in the barn for some office furniture, so I moved the chassis outside to re-arrange the space a bit. First time out doors in quite a spell........

Well, the fabricated bracket did not work out, so it's on to Plan "B". Or is it Plan "C"? Or maybe even "W". I've given up on keeping track!

Plugged a few holes in the windshield frame and poured some Rustoleum into the frame and swished it around. Made a mess, oh well.

i'll have to stop by on my way up or back from Pentwater to check out your project. That's if you want people stopping by ;)

Ryan, I would love, Love, LOVE people stopping by! Almost anyone, almost anytime, phone to be sure that I'm still not dead yet! C (616) 550-8462, H (616) 335-6837. It's worth a trip just to see beautiful west Michigan! Howard
