8/1/10

Rear leaf springs are completed. NOS bushings used on the front along with NOS, early style, rear shackles. Green/yellow spray dots replicated. Original style leaf clamps used with round holes, supplied by Jim Cowles at Shelby Parts & Restoration.



Took a break from heavy parts restoration and assembled the vent window assemblies. These are original frames that were re-chromed and look fantastic. NOS weather-strip installed, correct tubular rivets used to install the vertical pieces. Rivets facing out as original. Original glass, professionally buffed. Not shown in pic are the correct slider tracks with plastic inserts. The RH is NOS and the LH is nice used original. Have one original corner seal and an NOS one. All original attaching hardware restored/re-plated. Will get a few more detail pics later.
